           Summary: Factor out scripts' detectDE as xdg-detect-de?
                    ["PATCH"]
           Product: Portland
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: xdg-utils
        AssignedTo: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: rbeasley at vmware.com


I have a nagging suspicion that, while desktop environments aren't unified
under a single spec, application developers will have to special case each
desktop environment's quirks.  For a project I worked on, I ended up stealing
the detectDE subroutine and shoving it into its own script.

What do Portland's custodians think of doing the same officially?
