Nice! I've been thinking about that too... Please report on the progress.

BTW, I've made AppDir's of most of my desktop apps in /Programs,
sometimes it's really simple, like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]ls -lA /Programs/Inkscape
total 12
lrwxrwxrwx    1 gobo gobo    35 Feb 19  2006 .DirIcon ->
Current/Shared/pixmaps/inkscape.png
drwxr-xr-x    8 gobo gobo   224 May  2  2005 0.41
drwxr-xr-x    7 gobo gobo   200 Feb 19  2006 0.43
lrwxrwxrwx    1 gobo gobo    20 Feb 19  2006 AppRun -> Current/bin/inkscape
lrwxrwxrwx    1 gobo gobo     4 Feb 19  2006 Current -> 0.43

Other apps need a small shell wrapper for the AppRun:
#!/bin/sh
cd $(dirname $0)
exec Current/bin/foo

I install "real" app-dirs directly in /ROX-Apps or ~/Apps

My thought was that one could have a list of /Programs apps and how to
make AppDirs of them, they could be automatically symlinked to /ROX-Apps
too... Perhaps one could use that inotify shellscript tool some dev on
this list created (lucas? don't remember...) to do this automatically
when installing a program in /Programs.

One problem is that some apps don't install any icon by default, some
has icons in their source-tarball and some doesn't have any icons at
all. One could provide URL's to icons for those...
