Logged In: YES user_id=261020 Looking at the thread you reference, I guess it would be nice if the desktop module supported returning a process handle. On Windows, I imagine os.startfile could be extended in Python 2.5 to use StartFileEx() (win32 function suggested by Thomas Heller) and return a process handle. I guess it's worth asking whether that's actually very useful without ctypes or win32all, though. Anybody know how you'd get a pid out of KDE or GNOME?
