Hi,
In my view Tyler Hicks had explained [1], [2], [3] the security issues
perefctly why we can not take the mapplauncher in use in its present
implementation.
The problem actually was fairly simple... fork() is not good but exec()
is safe.
So with Zeller Benjamin we have created a version of the mapplauncher
[4] what is doing the right thing. The next step is to profile and
document the performance impact of this solution on the application
startup times.
Next week you will hear more about that. If the results are promising
then we can discuss about how to proceed. If not :) then we can say that
we have properly investigated this possibility.
cheers,
bzoltan

Hey!
I remember you started a thread[1] a while ago, re: app launch time.
Did you investigate that time into this? Perhaps that mechanism could
be adapted to current Ubuntu ?

In the Nokia N9, the dialer application was always running, but its
visibility was set to "hidden" when the user had not explicitly
started it.
I wonder if we should take a similar approach for Ubuntu, too.
Ciao,
Alberto
