Desktop Firewall or Application-Packetfilter

Hi,

i am looking for a way to control which application gets access to the internet under linux. the solution should be very similar to desktop firewalls under windows. i dont want to close specific ports to the internet. i want to filter the packets depending on the application name or the applications process id.

and by the way, i dont want to talk about the sense of desktop firewalls. i am only looking for a solution under linux (if there is one).

thanks!
