Quoting that document - and inserting gEDA's status:
Appendix A. Integration Checklist
This appendix provides a checklist of the various tasks presented
through this guide. You can use the checklist to ensure that your
software is integrated into GNOME in at least the most basic ways, and
also as a resource to plan for further integration work.
1. Does your application appear in the menus of the GNOME Panel?
(Depends on who packages it)
2. Does your application have an icon for the panel menus or the
desktop? If so, does it have multiple pre-rendered sizes and a scalable
SVG version?
No.
3. If your application can load or save files, does it register the MIME
types that it can handle?
No.
3. Does your application provide MIME icons for the file manager?
No.
4. Does your application support startup notification, so that GNOME can
display feedback to the user while your application is being launched?
No. (I think - unless GTK does it for us).
5. If your application creates "printable" documents, does it install a
thumbnailer for use by the file manager?
No.
I hope we can improve this (I don't care much about point 4 though).
