Folks,
Last week Tom Tromey posted an idea on his blog about
executable .desktop files:

I saw it, thought it was a good idea, and commented as much on my blog:
http://sniping.org/2006/09/28/so-simple-it-might-just-be-worth-
implementing/
To this end, I've written an additional utility called desktop-file-
launch, and I'd like to submit it for inclusion in the desktop-file-
utils toolset (http://freedesktop.org/wiki/
Software_2fdesktop_2dfile_2dutils). C isn't my strongest language,
but my tool works and I'm totally open to suggestions as to how to
improve it, feature-, code-, or method-wise. Would posting a patch
that applies against the latest CVS to this mailing list be the right
way to go about doing this, or is there a better list or better way?
Thanks,
Jeff
