I was surprised that gdomap -N showed applications that were running by other users, even root. This intrigues me because it is not what I expected, I will have to look at the source for gdomap.

Such a daemon would have to be very simple and straightforward to minimize bugs and crashing.That sounds heavyweight -- for X11, wouldn't it make more sense to usethe existing protocols to implement that?At about the same time last year I recommanded that gdomap could be the deamon keeping track of all the running GNUstep applications. It already does so, just type in "gdomap -N". We just would need to switch from an internal interface to a documented one. I did not get much feedback at the time.But this specific deamon would not be able to do the other things that have been suggested.Fred
