I the only one who thinks a configuration daemon is bad? And anyway, I remind you that there is already a remote access protocol on linux that is quite powerful, and works very well. It also fits into the unix framework: rsh/ssh (not telnet: you cannot run commands remotely via telnet!) -- Tz

requires some synchronization between two config keys, then the editor can't easily know about that. You can have the application put call-backs there to syncronize those two keys, but that can create a number of unexpected effects and strange effects (not to mention the extra resources taken) Also: xml still doesn't allow me to easily: *font: fixed This is because XML assumes a tree structure, and this wildcar below applies toall leaves wirt the name "font". So you see: a tree schema doesn't always work... And I still don't l;ike the current gconf: it requires an extra daemon (Not a matter of resource waste, but a matter of complexity: see their FAQ question "why can't I unmount my home directory when I exit?"). -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
