And I said that we already have exactly this problem with the current implementation, so it can probably not become worse. Daniel mentioned problems that could be caused by moving the gimp-remote functionality to the gimp binary. I asked him to explain what kind of problems that would be. I don't know why you answered to this question since it appears that your answer was unrelated. Sven
