Huh?! I didn't realise the (modified) Cute Mouse driver could be used with Linux! ;-) (I was talking about DOS Arachne, of course ...)
Anyway, I have recently decided, that I need to learn a little about Linux and/or FreeBSD (perhaps even install this stuff ;-). Until then, my knowledge of things Linux is almost non-existent. However, does your reference to "parsing Gnome desktop files" imply support for just Gnome, or does this also apply to KDE?
