Well, for the icons I could see how it'd
technically be handy. But of course with OpenStep
having bundle identifiers, it seemed kind of
strange for application icons. But I guess if it
keeps us compatible with Freedesktop, that's
handy.
-> In _obtainBundlePathIfNeeded, you
can't use bundleWithIdentifier:.
bundleWithIdentifier only works for objects
that have already been loaded
I know it doesn't work currently, but I
projected to fix it by extending GNUstep code
directly or with a category to support that by
querying the make_services database (which is
equivalent to LaunchServices database on Mac OS
X)
Just not sure it'd be a good idea to change the
behavior. GNUstep apps that use this feature
wouldn't port well to other OpenStep platforms,
and it'd take people a while to find out that
their app doesn't work because of a difference in
this API. If you add your own with a different
name, at least they'd notice at compile-time that
the functionality needs to be ported over, too.
