<p><font size="+2"><tt>Hello everyone,</tt></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><tt>as it appears, in the following versions of
Now Dock the dock will try to live outside plasmashell as a
standalone separate executable. It will still use all plasma
technologies from frameworks etc. but there is an issue with
that design decision change as the plasma developers informed
me.</tt></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><tt>In wayland world only the plasmashell executable
gains access through kwayland to manipulate tasks, get
information about the windows and even move its own window.</tt></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><tt>I would like to ask you what are the policies
and guidelines in order for another executable to gain such
access. This is the case of course for all docks living outside
plasmashell.</tt></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><tt><br>

<p><font size="+2"><tt>thanks a lot for your time.</tt></font></p>
