autorun.unx

Hi GNOME-Team!

For M$-Windows, there exists on CDROMs a file called
'autorun.inf' which looks like

> [autorun]
> OPEN=CommandToStart.exe
> ICON=FileWithIcon.ico

or if you want to call a html-page:

> [autorun]
> OPEN=Start htms\index.html
> ICON=StartIcon.ico

Is it possible, that there exists any file for Linux, too?
With KDE it is so, that - if you insert a CDROM - it
automatical mounted. I think GNOME do in the future the same.
So can you integrate a option, where you decide, if a file
- called autorun.unx or anything else - are loaded.

And the file 'autorun.unx' looks like:


> if (gnome)
> {
>   OPEN=netscape htms/index.html
> }
> else if (kde)
> {
>   OPEN=kfm htms/index.html
> }
> else
> (
>   OPEN=lynx htms/index.html
> }
>
> ICON=StartIcon.xpm
