I know some people are using custom C# libs that talk to D-BUS directly instead of wrapping libnotify (same with some Python projects I think), and those will break. We'll also break in the case of upgrading on a modern distro to a newer libnotify or notification-daemon. I suppose that could be worked around by having notification-daemon listen on both namespaces for a while, and have libnotify first check if the VisualNotifications namespace is being handled and then falling back on Notifications. Another possibility is keeping the namespaces but introducing new methods for whatever else we need, but then that moves into the bigger discussion we're trying to avoid :) Christian </div></div> -- Christian Hammond - <a href="mailto:chipx86@chipx86.com">chipx86@chipx86.com</a> Review Board - <a href="http://www.review-board.org">http://www.review-board.org</a> VMware, Inc. - <a href="http://www.vmware.com">http://www.vmware.com</a>
