Re: localapps to speedy ?

Oli-

I think the localapps stuff is proceeding exactly as we had discussed in
the hackfest.  I don't understand.  "xrexec" is needed to set the Xatom
on the server-side to trigger the launching of the application.  You
cannot launch the application merely with a .desktop file.

I envisioned the .desktop file's Exec line being something like:

Exec=xrexec <application name>

Though, as xrexec is merely a single line, it could become:

Exec=xprop ... set "LTSP_COMMAND" <application name>

in which case, there would be no server-side script.

Either way, though, everything we have coded thus far is still required.

Dazed and confused,
