I somewhat disagree. The "philosophy" of GNOME never was (or never should have been) "to be made up of distributed components" - that's an implementation detail, not a goal. D-BUS doesn't change this. One way to phrase it is that dcop/d-bus are intended to be IPC systems and not component systems: http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-faq.html#components Havoc _______________________________________________ gnome-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-devel-list
