Using Unity on non KDE platforms
by Martin Reddy on Friday 03/Nov/2006, @10:17

This is a fabulous development! We have a large Qt based app that runs on Linux (GNOME) and Mac OS X, and we're looking for a solution to embed a webbrowser in that app. I'm wondering if Unity/WebKit is the answer. Specifically:

- Can Unity run on a Linux GNOME desktop? If so, does it require running a bunch of KDE services as root first (I've compiled everything up under GNOME but am having troubles running testunity), and

- Can you use the new WebKit sources to embed a webbrowser in a Qt app on Mac OS X?

If there's a more appropriate forum to ask these questions then just let me know! Thanks.

Martin.

Any Qt or KDE program can run on a GNOME desktop, so why wouldn't a program using Unity?

KDE never requires any service to be run as root
