After two weeks without working on it, this evening I finally returned to GtkUnique and finished the bacon-like backend. Now, beside using D-Bus and Xlibs, you can use Un*x sockets as an IPC method to send a command to a running instance of an application which is using GtkUnique.
Next items in the TODO are:
- Add more documentation on the protocol used in the three backends;
- Fix the Perl bindings;
- Finish and publish the Python bindings;
In the meantime, you can grab GtkUnique 0.5.0 here or pull it from the bazaar repository.
