That's what I intended (in the long run anyway, local stuff will likely
work first).

To be precise, it is on my Todo list for enhanced permissions. Whether
that will be there for GNOME 2.2 I cannot say, if only for the fact that
I don't know when GNOME 2.2 is planned (If you need an example for
ignorance at some time in the future, feel free to refer to me ;o).

After we have agreed on some very rough API (I still haven't received
any feedback on what I babbled about before my vacation -- *hint* hullo
list!), I'll start coding. Hey I might start coding anyway before that,
thinking about my chances to get any feedback at all :-P. But the more
ideas I receive from someone else, the less I have to get them by
myself, the quicker I can do that. Hu-hum.

Ever noticed that common sense isn't really all that common?
