Theme package mime type in 2.18



One of the new features in GNOME 2.18 is that the theme manager will be associated with a specific mime type for "theme packages" (application/x-gnome-theme-package, file suffix ".gtp").

There is nothing new here, as it uses exactly the same gzipped tarball format and directory layout as we have been using in the past, but now we can specifically open and install themes with the theme manager.

If anyone has any final comments on the chosen mime-type and extension, now would be a good time to make them. Please note that an extension such as ".theme" was not chosen because it is already in use elsewhere on the desktop, and is also too generic to specify what the file actually is.
