Cool! There are two parts of this, I guess: making Sugar recognize .desktop files, and generating .desktop files from Sugar activity.info files. Like I briefly outlined in my previous message, you could have the activity registry export a ~/.sugar-xdg directory (say) whether via FUSE or by old-fashioned "write the files to the filesystem and keep them up to date" and with an appropriate XDG_DATA_DIR we can interoperate both ways. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
