How does you do the GMC handle ? Have you simply made a "open with" thing,
or can you like with rpms make menu entries on the right-mouse click for
installing the file ?

Well, gpilotd_client takes two arguments, pilotid and filename.

Ack, thats a bug that I must have made somewhere recently. It's supposed
to at least decrease the number-of-requests. Will fix.

No, gpilotd calls a method orbed_notify_completion that tells the client
that the request is done, plus calls gpc_queue_purge_request which should
remove the request. Either gpc_queue_purge_request is broken or the call
is never made.

We had planned to make two types of calls, IMMEDIATE and PERSISTANT, and
basically the difference was whether the call should survive the daemon
(eg. boot), or if the call was to be anulled when the daemon was killed.

So PERSISTANT(sp?) is ok. (uhm, isn't that spelled with a E instead of A
btw ?)
