Fail to see the connection. I guess xdg, if it stands for X Desktop Group, would be obsolete soon if people move to Wayland or Mir based desktop. BTW, I happen to know one breakage caused by Linux not having open(1) like OS X. https://github.com/swaroopch/byte_of_python/issues/8 _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list xdg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
