This way Fedora KDE could ship with Stringi and even GNOME apps would work since they only depend on the Xesam calls and not the backend. This should entirely remove the multiple indexer problem and ensure a much improved user experience. Everybody wins. The best bit is that Xesam has buyin from every major indexer project from the word go, this should hopefully ensure that the standard gets adopted smoothly. I love it when Open Standards work out correctly. - David
