I don't often agree with Linas ;) but I'm going to do a spectacular U-turn (based on my last comment on this subject) and completely agree with him and the approach he's trying to take. Especially in a Unix environment (would probably have to be done different in Win32) all the controls are there for mixing in users in a single session so why force the interruptions of sessions. It might be something much less trivial than listening to music that you are interrupting; perhaps a conference of some form (Gnome Meeting?) where you need to bring up GnuCash to inspect some figures. You could create a million and one example scenarios like that. And, as Linas points out, it's much better to take a generic approach to this rather than a GnuCash-specific hack. It should probably be part of Gnome or maybe even more generic than that - a standalone lib for other applications to use. It'll be simple enough. -- - Charlie Charles Goodwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Online @ http://www.charlietech.com _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
