Thanks Vincent. I think our overview is here:
http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Howto/XDGMenuSystem

There may be other info on our wiki that I've not unearthed but I'm sure
another Mandriva person will pipe up if that's the case ;)

The bit about icon file extensions at the end of the page is probably
worth a special note.

That sounds like a good idea. Perhaps we need a x-desktop wiki somewhere
on fdo? (/me hides in shame if there already is one and he's just been
too lazy to check ;))
