The standard is specified in several places, all drafts. Start with the 'desktop menu specification'. This specifies that files are to be collected from: $XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications/ $XDG_DATA_DIRS/desktop-directories/ (only for folders/submenus) Here, $XDG_DATA_DIRS is actually a collection of possible directories -- defined by the 'desktop base directory specfication'. The default value is /usr/local/share/:/usr/share/. So this seems to indicate that a foo.desktop file should be installed into /usr/share/applications/foo.desktop Indeed, some programs are doing this already, I see. :-) -- There are none so blind as those who will not see. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
