No, the script is not optimal, Thorsten, but to address your points:
1. You can modify it for other apps
2. Once any app that uses this script to launch, because said app depends on desktopcouch, then all other apps that also depends on desktopcouch can just be started directly, because the link between the desktopcouch and the couchdb service will have been established

This is just a workaround, and you would use it knowing that you:
a) need sudo privileges
b) run the small risk of an app asking for a host entry *that exists in your hosts file* and that you want to handle differently from DNS in the few seconds that it takes to run the scripe. Small risk, small impact even if it happens, so what?

Also Thorsten, I don't think you read the script properly.

It will launch a gwibber process *in the background*, and immediately
replace the hosts file after the gwibber process is created.

Brian, you are very critical of the bugs in desktopcouch, but I'm sure
that it will be fixed in due course. In the meantime, I will not be
using gwibber or other affected apps, and you don't have to either.

This is a WORKAROUND, which will alleviate the problem until it's fixed.

For example, I am using this script as a workaround so I can play with
gwibber.

Really guys, if you don't want to use the script, then don't use it. It
works for me, and it provides a workaround to the issue which I am
using, and I'm sure other people are as well.
