marcus,

Ubuntu likes your deskbar patch!

Nice! I installed gnome (it made _huge_ leaps!!!) and it's the coolest
way using tracker!

mikkel ok to apply this? (if I dont hear from you soon I will apply
anyway)

One thing though. I talked with michael biebl about xdg-open and
gnome-open --- he would suggest to use gnome-open as default action
for .desktop files and fallback to xdg-open. But on my system
gnome-open opens .desktop files as textfile with gedit/vim/... -
xdg-open runs the application though. Any hint on how I can fix this,
it's kind of irritating.

not off hand - I would use xdg-open if it works (xdg-utils should be a
recommended package)


Actually, I meant it the other way around. I'm fine with using
xdg-open as default, as long as we have a sane fallback (be it
gnome-open or any other means). This way, we don't have a hard
dependency on xdg-utils.
Please keep in mind, that we can't know about all the other distros.
So I'm very conservative when it comes to add a hard dependency on
xdg-utils for the deskbar-applet plugin.

hehe ok - me need learn english ;)

OK, it's somewhat strange on my system - now gnome is installed,
everything is fine, but now, gnome-open and xdg-open, both open
.deskop files with the preferred text editor - this scares me a little
bit.

On the other hand, I can now run commands based on the .desktop file
only. However, if xdg-open is there it is used.

Cheers, Marcus
