XFree86 Technical Conference — Abstract
XSETTINGS : A protocol for cross-toolkit settings
Owen Taylor, Red Hat, Inc.
Abstract
Advancing the user experience on the open-source
desktop depends upon creating standards for appli-cations
to interact with each other and the desktop
environment so that applications created with dif-ferent
toolkits operate correctly with any desktop.
The XSETTINGS protocol provides a simple ex-ample
of some of the techniques and considerations
that come into play for such standards. It provides
a mechanism for all applications running on a desk-top
to have access to a common set of settings for
such user-configurable parameters as double-click
time and background color.
