Re: [gtk-list] WM icons

[sml13 cornell edu]

Somewhat related questions:

1.) Does Gnome use the UNIX 'file' command (or a library equivalent of 
the file command) to determine 
incons/filetypes?  Or does it use (the stupid Winblows way) file 
extensions?  Just curious.  Once I get gmc up on my system, I'm sure I 
will find this out for myself :-)

2.) Wouldn't it be cool (if the answer to #1 is yes :-) to have a unique 
icon for every entry in /usr/share/magic?  I think it would.  Well, anyway...

3.) Someone said something about actually having a preview (using the 
as-of-yet-nonexistent GTK+ preview widget :-) of an image as its icon 
(maybe preserving that little 'gif','jpeg','xpm' tag over it?).  
Whoever is doing that, I just want to lend you my moral support, as I 
think that would be realllly cool.  Quite a hack.  I would owe you my 
second born (I already owe that Raster guy my first for the theme thing).  
Good luck :-)
