Hello, I completely understand your argument, but I see a big benefit "nearly for free", if the already existing dcopserver switch would allow an -dcopserver none In the base class it would be a 5 minute go, but all kde-apps would (sooner or later) have to take care of this possibility, so instead of complaining and stopping, they would just "not serve" some of their functionality, when running without dcopserver. Imho it would be a drastic improvement in terms of extended usage scenarios. After all it is about reducing mandatory dependencies, what is always a good one. (In this case dependencies to the environment.) What do you think? cu, Thomas -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Michel D'HOOGE [mailto:list.dhooge@xxxxxxxxx] Gesendet: Freitag, 25.

This is the counterpart of big GUIs like Gnome & KDE. They offer a powerful, standardized framework for applications. One thing remarkable, for instance, is KIO that allows any (good/new) application to access any kind of file as if it were local. Furthermore, KDE is not meant to run a single app but tens or hundreds, where sharing libs is a good things. -- Michel ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
