> You mean adding something to the python sugar API in the lines of what
cocoa has? If so, can you give an example of what you propose? But take in
mind that we really need to support the X selection mechanism in which is
based copy&paste and dnd, as we cannot force all activities to be written
in python and use our APIs (other than the strictly necessary).
Right now, I have no specific ideas, just a general sense of what could
help. And you're right; by trying to keep backwards-compatible with old
open-source X applications that you're using, you have much less
flexibility to design something from scratch. I hadn't though about that.
You've given me a lot of material to read, though (Thanks!), so hopefully
I'll start to get some specific ideas.

the sugar mailing list, trac and #sugar, you are welcome to jump and ask
anything you want.
OK, I will. Unfortunately, I can't get XoIRC to work, however (#5443), so
I won't be able to get on IRC until I figure that out (this XO is my only
working machine right now). Thanks for the lengthy reply!
