Every process have still it's private copy [which it can damage :-)].

That's wrong for sure. As every process have it's own cookie jar it can
only damage it's own cookie jar (I assume that Ssystem is written correct
and don't destroy cookie jars from other processes).

I don't have any problem. You wanted to rewrite it as xdd. It's just that
I don't see any advantage of simply moving the gluestik code into an xdd.
