That's what its all about. If all users were smart enough (not "stupid enough"), there would be no need to talk about this. > Can't we at least agree that this IS a problem? and concentrate on > solving this SPECIFIC problem? I doubt that caps lock helps to solve the issue... the problem is well known and you were already told to look at the mailinglist archives, and discover that people are aware of this issue. > To repeat, the problem is that .desktop files, UNLIKE EVERY OTHER SORT > OF UNIX PROGRAM OR SCRIPT, can be executed without having been granted > the +x permission. That's your interpretation of the problem. The problem itself has nothing to do with the +x bit, and unless you are able to open your mind to the more general view of the problem, this thread will not procude a viable solution. > Sam Benedikt _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
