Hi,

First of all, I apologize for my late reply.


We developed Common Desktop Infrastructure, but support was not
provided in 2008. After that, the project was stopped.

GNOME and KDE came to run on D-Bus, so probably primitive data
type can be transmitted and received through D-Bus.

However, each applications can't cooperate unless they treat
text data by using clipboard. Because, it is necessary to handle
complicated data object in desktop applications.

Therefore, we developed Common Desktop Infrastructure to realize
data exchange between KDE, GNOME, OpenOffice.org and Mozilla.

the layer for converting complicated data data object is necessary,
even if all these desktop applications come to be connected to D-Bus.
But, there isn't such a thing.

Unfortunately, we made only samples of connecting KDE and UNO now.

We were not convinced of whether UNO could connect with D-Bus,
so we gave priority to that we did the inspection.

We developed only these before 2008.


Personally, I have been considering a means to continue this project.

Thanks,
