(Bthats the idea behind importers - to import such files/layouts/data - see my
(Bother mail about it :) there are other standards other than and older than
(Bfd.o's that we would like to support - and an importer system cleanly separates
(Bthis out :)

(Byes it does.
(B1. animated icons, scalable icons, you cannot "remove the icon" from an app by
(Bseparately deleting the .png or whatever - the iocn image is inlined IN the
(B.eapp so the image file FOLLOWS the .eapp. i can give you my .eapp and it will
(Bdisplay perfectly on your system - u dont need to separately install an icon
(Bimage somewhere that can be found. .eapp's can extend to have all sorts of
(Bbinary data inlined and attached - efficiently. :) they are self-contained.
(B.desktop files are not.
