My reading was that he worried about *non-KDE* apps doing similar things without any interaction with Akonadi. So there are now two independant databases, one in KDE and one in Gnome. Those of us who use a mixture of apps are running both of them. We're also running two key managers (gnome-key and kwallet) which don't appear to talk to each other. I'm sure I could think of other examples. Isn't this the sort of thing that Freedesktop is supposed to prevent? poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
