| + | ===== Use GDBus ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | A whole bunch of Xfce uses DBus communication (xfconf, thunar, xfce4-panel, | ||
| + | |||
| + | Since 2.26 glib has its own implementation for this to replace dbus-glib, so it is wise to switch to this API and drop dbus-glib. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Advantages are: gdbus does not include the dbus library and uses GIO streams. It's therefore a lighter implementation. dbus-glib is also not maintained as much as gdbus. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Tasks: | ||
| + | - Start with xfconf and port the code and generation to gdbus. It might be wise to use direct proxy communication in libxfconf, because the calls are sync. | ||
| + | - Port the other implementations to gdbus. | ||
| + | - Open bugs for the various components and attach the patches. | ||
