Cause they (freedesktop.org) use dbus, which makes sense IMO. There ain't that many alternatives out there. Gnome just follows the path and I think modern KDE does this too. I was looking recently in bluetooth which also uses dbus, so if you want to communicate with bluetooth (bluez5 and I think bluez4 too) you have to use dbus- there ain't much choice. Luckily someone ported qt dbus to trinity and we have tqt dbus now and I think it works pretty well. So if synaptic uses dbus and you want to use it, you have to stick to those "ingeniouse freedesktop.org inventions" regards --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
