Hi,
currently every window gets access. This will change soon. The
implementation for authorization is already on the whiteboard
left
to
me :-)
nice to hear... :)
Basically the required interface will be restricted. The
identification will be based on process ids with a root (!)
owned
global configuration file.
If I read it correctly, then the user could edit this file in
order to
allow a dock
executable to gain access, right? this is sufficient for me...
So, a kcm could be added in order to edit this file and make this
easier
for the user, right?
No, as that will be a system wide setting and root owned there will
certainly not be a kcm for it.
So this doesnt fall in the category of all the other kcm's that
require root password to apply their settings such as the time/date
one and the sddm one...
We don't offer kcms for everything. This will fall into the category of
no KCM should be provided.
This is about the security of the system. It's distro or admin job.
So the user that owns the root password should be able to edit that
file, am I wrong?
If I ever see introductions by 3rd party providers on how to edit the
files so that the fancy tool works, I'll change the implementation ASAP.
This is about security of the system! Normal users shall not know how to
do that.
Now that I am thinking it, even an installation from a package distro
installation could also alter it, no?
Yes, that's the idea how we want to do it for Plasma. The package
installation will take care of it.
Cheers
Martin
