Hi, with Linux 'desktop' environments nowadays running on different form factors and input methods (desktop pc/laptop, tablet, phone, tv, ...) it would be useful for desktop shells to know what screen resolutions / sizes and ways of user input an application supports in order to make a sensible choice whether it should be displayed in a menu to a user. This choice can change at runtime (e.g. a tablet or TV gets a bluetooth keyboard paired or a phone gets a large monitor and keyboard+mouse connected).
Having that information in the desktop file looks like the natural place and i can see two possible ways: having applications specify preferred, minimum and maximum screen size and ways of user input or group things in categories like Adpaptive=phone;desktop; and then come up with sensible device type definitions. Was there any previous discussion on this already that i missed in my search? Or maybe even some prior art i missed so far? If not i can try to come up with a proposal.
