(the rest is just mechanics on agreeing on atom names to use, where to stick properties and what they mean and which data to expose/fetch where in what way). am i on the same page? -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
