Per Ryans' previous mail, an application ID is just a DBus name: <a href="http://developer.gnome.org/gio/unstable/GApplication.html#g-application-id-is-valid">http://developer.gnome.org/gio/unstable/GApplication.html#g-application-id-is-valid</a> We have a patch for gtk+ to export this as a window property named _DBUS_APPLICATION_ID. This complements the existing WM_CLASS window <-> .desktop file association. Now we also need for non-unique applications to know the unique DBus name (e.g. :1.14). That's the _DBUS_UNIQUE_NAME property. Finally, _DBUS_OBJECT_PATH is typically just a substitution . for /; in practice we could just do this in various places, but it seems cleaner to export it too. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list <a href="mailto:xdg@lists.freedesktop.org">xdg@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg</a> </div></blockquote></body></html>
