This is a strange way of presenting it. The same mixture exists everywhere. The environment defaults are environment-specific, using defaults.list in Gnome and InitialPreference= in KDE. On top of that, mimeapps.list is standard, and can be used at the system level (/usr/share) by ISVs or at the user-level to store user-specific overrides. -- David Faure, [email protected], http://www.davidfaure.fr Working on KDE, in particular KDE Frameworks 5 _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
