6. There is also the idea that I did write a few months ago in a mail to
Richard, that we should use gdomap to implement more of the GUI general
interaction methods (like hideOtherApplications:) by exporting the list
of the running GNUstep applications with an interface similar to what
gets used for the donames() function. This would be used by the
GSServiceManager to provide some methods for NSApplication and NSWorkspace.
This is interesting for the desktops built on GNUstep, but I don't think
this belongs in core/ itself. In particular, gdomap is the wrong place
for this since gdomap is a -base daemon (a suid one at that, so it
should do only one thing, but do it in a very secure way), and not
everyone runs gdomap.
