I have to say that I don't really know, I just used the commands you mentioned in one of the emails and it it seems to work OK ;) I'll play a bit more around with it on the weekend and test the rpm from the build server. > I also notice you use a wrong name: x-xboard-pgn should be x-xboard-trn > to match the icon mentioned in the mime-type definition. oops.

E.g. a white/black chess board? could do... it would be nice to have those icons in SVG and then create pngs from there if needed. how about a chess board as a background and PNG or FEN written on top of it?
