Marc,

I have not used the Revolution builder, but I have used the latest MetaCard
builder (same under the hood though). I am using RedHat 9 and Mandrake 9,
and I have had very good success (not excellent however). Building the
'.bin' file should result in a double clickable stand-alone, although I had
to change the preferences for the file to 'executable' (or something to that
effect). Here are my personal observations:
...
- No icon support for your stand-alone other than what Gnome or KDE
provides.

My very limited understanding of the various window managers is that each provides its own mechanism for the essential basics:


- app icon
- document icon
- app/doc association
- adding an item to the Start menu

Questions:

1. How does one automate these basic essentials when making an installer for Linux?

2. Are these mechanisms really different from window manager to window manager? If so, have these various groups (GNOME, KDE, etc.) started work on a universal mechanism for these things?
