Installing .desktop files in /usr/share/xsessions ought to be policy for WMs. At least KDE, gnome, enlghtenment, xfce4 and ion now do this, and probably others which I haven't checked (kde 3.3.x still doesn't use files from there but we're fixing that; 3.4.0_beta1 already uses it).
This was discussed in bugs 66055 and 15315, but those were assigned to the kde team. There was also 47074, but it didn't get any attention. So do we need to do something to make it official policy, considering almost all WMs already do this? -- Dan Armak Gentoo Linux developer (KDE) Matan, Israel Public GPG key: http://dev.gentoo.org/~danarmak/danarmak-gpg-public.key Fingerprint: DD70 DBF9 E3D4 6CB9 2FDD 0069 508D 9143 8D5F 8951
