       Gtk2::UniqueBackend -  IPC backend used by libunique

DESCRIPTION

       Gkt2::UniqueBackend is the base, abstract class implemented by the different IPC
       mechanisms used by Gtk2::Unique. Each Gtk2::UniqueApp instance creates a
       Gkt2::UniqueBackend to request the name or to send messages.
