That would be really cool. A few days ago I thought of something like that for Gimp:

* all important objects are made accessible via 9P * an shell (eg. bash) is extended to support 9P directly * an special terminal (eg. via splitvt) runs both shell and some status like app * user commands can be easily written as shellscript functions

Yes, in my _real_ dream world, one of the global distributed system projects would have taken over and we wouldn't have web browsers at all.

You might like have a look at Plan9 and how things are done there. We can learn really much from it :) cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
