This problem pretty much doesn't exists in GNOME, as: - either a local FUSE URI will be passed to the program (eg. opening smb://myserver/myshare/foobar.txt will actually pass the URI version of "~/.gvfs/myshare on my server/foobar.txt") - or the supported schemes are listed using the x-schema-handler/ stuff This means that you would only have problems when launching GNOME apps under KDE, but not when running in GNOME, XFCE, LXDE (which use gvfs). Again, that's probably only a problem if KDE didn't get FUSE support for KIO since the last time I looked at it. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
