[Enigma-devel] Enigma and freedesktop.org

[Michael Terry]

Hello, gentle Enigma maintainers.

I have written and attached a .desktop file following the 
freedesktop.org desktop entry specification.  Also attached is a patch 
to put it in the right place (when not doing a mingw build) on the 
user's system.  Put the engima.desktop file in the source directory 'etc.'

In case you are not familiar, a .desktop file is put in a standard 
location (usually /usr/share/applications) and then all compliant 
desktop environments and window managers (right now, just KDE3 and 
GNOME2) can automatically pull information from these files and put the 
entries in their menus or whatever.

I also have added code to etc/Makefile.am to install the enigma icon 
into the appropriate places.  (This is needed for the .desktop entry to 
find the icon.)

Please cc: me on any replies, since I am not subscribed to this list.
