what functionality is (G)D-Bus supposed to be providing on other platforms? my impression has been that on linux it provides stuff that both OS X and Windows already provides (plus or minus a detail or two). if that impression is correct, why would anyone run (G)D-Bus on those platforms? if its not correct, what is the functionality that (G)D-Bus is offering to linux that is missing from those platforms? if you're talking about just a portable API to interact with various system services and notifications, then fine, but that's a bit different than talking about D-Bus itself, i think. just to be clear: i'm a big fan of the functionality that D-Bus (at least the system bus and maybe the session bus too) has made possible on linux. i just don't understand why anyone would imagine using it on other platforms. _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
