Folks, Last week Tom Tromey posted an idea on his blog about executable .desktop files: http://tromey.com/blog/?p=285 I saw it, thought it was a good idea, and commented as much on my blog: http://sniping.org/2006/09/28/so-simple-it-might-just-be-worth- implementing/ To this end, I've written an additional utility called desktop-file- launch, and I'd like to submit it for inclusion in the desktop-file- utils toolset (http://freedesktop.org/wiki/ Software_2fdesktop_2dfile_2dutils). C isn't my strongest language, but my tool works and I'm totally open to suggestions as to how to improve it, feature-, code-, or method-wise. Would posting a patch that applies against the latest CVS to this mailing list be the right way to go about doing this, or is there a better list or better way? Thanks, Jeff
