Oh I meant SELinux, and pls. be the first to deny there were hooks planted in Linux by Linus via the LSM (the Linux Security Module, for the general audience), as per: Developer Raps Linux Security (or whatever the exact title, I'm offline, doing just a quick write) http://www.crmbuyer.com/story/39565.html > > > Are there options for KDE/Gnome without dbus (or d-bus) now? > > KDE3 had its own IPC protocol, DCOP, that was used as the basis for DBus. > Once there was a standard IPC system, there was no need for KDE to > maintain its own.
