In particular kdelibs/kio/kio/slaveinterface.h and kdelibs/kio/kio/slavebase.h The easiest is to start by making a single (out of process) ioslave, there are plenty of io-slaves available as example, but the file ioslave (kdelibs/kioslave/file) is probably relatively close to what you need. In general io-slaves don't use the Qt event loop at all, so you don't need to merge it either. If you need the glib event loop you may need to merge it with SlaveBase::dispatchLoop() which handles the communication between application and io-slave. Typically the slave is idle when it hangs around in dispatchLoop(), waiting to get a new command from the application, so I don't think you would have much glib events to process there. If you need to do things in-process (but I can't see why actually) you can have a look at the data io-slave, kdelibs/kio/kio/dataslave.cpp Cheers, Waldo -- bastian kde org | Free Novell Linux Desktop 9 Evaluation Download bastian suse com | http://www.novell.com/products/desktop/eval.html
