The xdg-utils package is a set of simple scripts that provide basic
|
|
desktop integration functions for any Free Desktop, such as Linux.
|
|
|
|
They are intended to provide a set of defacto standards. This means
|
|
that:
|
|
|
|
* Third party software developers can rely on these xdg-utils for
|
|
all of their simple integration needs.
|
|
|
|
* Developers of desktop environments can make sure that their
|
|
environments are well supported
|
|
|
|
If a desktop developer wants to be certain that their environment
|
|
functions with all third party software, then can simply make sure
|
|
that these utilities work properly in their environment. This will
|
|
hopefully mean that 'third tier' window managers such as XFCE and
|
|
Blackbox can reach full parity with Gnome and KDE in terms of third
|
|
party ISV support.
|
|
|
|
* Distribution vendors can provide custom versions of these utilities
|
|
|
|
If a distribution vendor wishes to have unusual systems, they can
|
|
provide custom scripts, and the third party software should still
|
|
continue to work.
