CORBA works across... well supposedly anything in theory. CORBA is nice but its strength is its weakness. People don't use it because its difficult to program and debug. DBus is simpler in most desktop cases, so many instances where bonobo was used are being replaced by DBus, but bonobo is NOT going away, just being used less. Also, I think G.N.O.M.E. was just a clever way to spell Gnome cuz it sounds like GNU and its funny and Miguel liked it. Network Objects were a nice idea, but really there is no philosophy (besides making a cool desktop). > > dbus in contrast is > > designed to be similar to dcop in kde as well as a > > replacement for bonobo. > > > > so applications would still communicate with each > > other using dbus. > > > > Regards > > Rahul Sundaram > > > > > > > > __________________________________ > > Do you Yahoo!? > > Make Yahoo! your home page > > http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs > > > _______________________________________________ > gnome-devel-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-devel-list _______________________________________________ gnome-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-devel-list
