Yes, we are doing this for the GNOME 3 Shell. I've typed up this page: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/ApplicationBased I haven't announced it widely up until now, but it's probably ready for discussion. I wanted to investigate adding a hint to startup-notification with the name of the launched .desktop file, but haven't had time yet. Yes, I fully realize ultimately this is heuristic, and we do have a fallback. Note also the shell's current heuristics are not complete. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
