Re: Unix Sockets

Is there some documentation on the communication between core and (G)UI? I 
would like to study it some time.

For now I am thinking about the streamlining. I wonder if there should not be 
some way of security in there too. Because now, everybuddy ;) is able to 
connect to the core from any computer, if they have the right cookie 
information, right?
If I think of something I will let you know.
