Linux support #4

Open becuz opened 11 years ago

lorenzleutgeb commented 11 years ago

I wrote a small app (see https://github.com/flowlo/xremote-html5) to control the X server mouse based on our code for balloonathon. This could be a starting point for linux. It uses xautomation which provides commands to control X.

A basic support is ready. The sw requirements are wmctrl and amixer.

The feature to open a file with the default program right now works just with gnome, through gnome-open. It's needed a switch that understands the correct window manager and uses the right one: kde-open, exo-open.. or xdg-utils.
