Well technically the IETF registers scheme names. However unless your application has industry wide impact they are not going to bother with you. I would suggest using whatever you like that seems unused and (up to some point pre-release) be prepared to change it if you later learn of a collision. It is hard to know without some more detail about the scope of what you are doing. As to notification area icons, in GTK there is GtkStatusIcon or GtkPlug; Qt has QSystemTrayIcon. If you were interested in the Ubuntu specific indicator applet mechanism, libindicator. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
