I don't understand the relation to RealPlayer or "DPNH", but about the whole ISV idea is: since I suspect some apps will want to set themselves as default upon installation (even if we don't agree with it), we might as well provide a way to do this cleanly rather than seeing these apps hack into /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list. In any case this is the same level as sysadmin customizations, so whether or not ISVs use it doesn't change anything to the spec. -- David Faure, fa...@kde.org, http://www.davidfaure.fr Working on KDE, in particular KDE Frameworks 5 _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list xdg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
