So, installing a "backdoor" double-click support on the system is ok, as long as you hassle the user once in the beginning with shell commands? Imagine my situation - I provide certain instant applications. Would it be ok for me to provide a .companyname file handler, which simply does "chmod +x app.companyname && ./app.companyname"? Technically, it's an interpreter for my type of applications. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
