XSettings (Was: [lsb-discuss] Desktop APIs)

[Bastian, Waldo]

Next week's (Aug 10) the OSDL DTL Tech board call is dedicated to
Freedesktop specs. I will send out an announcement later today. Let's
discuss there what we can do to create the required concensus. In the
meantime I would like to invite people to add suggestions to the wiki on
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards/XSettingsDiscussion
