Oops, yeah, just make the directory and ln -s yourprofilecookie.txt ~/.mozilla/microb/cookies.txt

That problem should disappear once I've integrated the native login code.

The full keyboard shortcuts will be better under a desktop as well because of the dedicated number keys....

Of course, we would have a laptop (with no numeric keypad) running Windows (with no softlink function).

You're right, having a native login is a much better approach. I'll just be patient. :)

Am I going about this the hard way, would it be easier on people for this to be a web app? One page could contain 100% of the UI and a few, completely stateless, functions server side would complete the app.

But doesn't that mean we have to give your web app our Grandcentral login information? Unless you're thinking of running some kind of tiny web server on the tablet / computer itself...

It's always easy for the person not actually writing the code (me) to give advice than it is for the coder to actually be able to implement it, but IMHO you've been going about it exactly right. Having this be client side is the whole selling point for me on this. If I were to have to open a web page to run this, it would only be slightly more useful than just logging into grandcentral itself.

Just my $0.02.

Yes and no... the way I see it working you need the login information only to pass through the server in order to get the tokens to do the rest. So no server side storage of any credentials would be necessary.

The tipping point for me right now is just getting GTK to do what I want, if I can't get it to do that I'll switch. I may still do a web based one later.

The problem is that you might say that you're not storing the credentials, but you could, very easily... And if you ask for the credentials, you'd have to have an SSL secured page...

Well, I suppose as long as the server-side script(s) involved were provided for me to host on my own web server, I'd be OK with it. That way I have control of the whole process. I know that's not an option for everyone, though.

I hope you can figure the GTK issues out, I know that's a pain. Good luck.
