While I don't understand the specific details, I'm fairly certain the "net.reactivated" portion stores the D-Bus interface name - usually the reverse of the domain name for the project's own website. For example, most of GNOME's D-Bus stuff is under the interface "org.gnome", and there are also utilities (such as the Telepathy messaging stack) hosted on FreeDesktop.org which use the interface "org.freedesktop". I imagine Fprint is using the "net.reactivated" interface name because "reactivated.net" is the website of its primary author, Daniel Drake. Hope that helps a bit, and Happy New Year to all. -- Peter Gordon (codergeek42) <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Who am I? :: http://thecodergeek.com/about-me
