That sounds like a great solution. Do kde and gnome both use this for mime types? Also, you have to be careful with the del in case the item being deleted is not there (due to manual editing) and make sure that doesnt throw any erros / crash rpmdrake etc. Sure this is a bit of work to implement now, but the amount of effort going into things like devfs etc. surely means that this is a worthwile venture. I have installed mandrake on machines for people who have never used linux before, and their biggest complaint (obscure hardware excluded - mostly winmodems) is that even though there is an icon for a file, there is no app, and they have no idea which apps do what. I also think a nice idea would be a place on the website users can request an rpm of a package they want, but for which there is none (and therefore wouldnt know how to install) and we could view these requests and make rpms. This would obviously have searchable functionality and user mailback when a packages has been made etc.. When i was new to linux trying to get some apps working (from source) was very confusing. Especially as everything under dos had an 'install program' of sorts. Ive been using it for years and i STILL cant get festival speech synthesis to compile. Just my thoughts, its pretty hard to think of how to improve such a sweet distro.
