That's a bit of an over-generalisation. Most apps on the OpenSolaris

interested in
solving the problem for...?
I guess the "class of apps" is not really defined... We just want
to make most apps, graphical or not, work with NWAM seamlessly if
possible. And I guess most people will consider Firefox to be an
important app to work with NWAM. Do you have a suggestion on this
issue if patching Firefox to use the GConf key may not be an option?
Has anyone considered creating a local proxy that would
handle this? Apps would always use the local proxy; it's
configuration would be updated dynamically by
NWAM/user. We could ameliorate possible performance issues
by adding the ability to "splice" sockets together
in the kernel once the connections were established.
Splice sockets together...kind of like an in-kernel relay of
packets? Does anyone, anywhere, do this? Sounds interesting...
