Description Joe Gasiorek 2004-12-07 19:20:08 UTC 
I mostly brought this back to test the new SQlite code, not sure if it is still
wanted.  Will attach patch (against CVS) and screenshot.

Basic patch looks good.  There are a few changes needed before it can go in, though:

* Invoking pkg-config from inside the backend is really gross.  It'd be much
better if it were done at configure-time.  Bonus points for also checking where
KDE is installed and using those paths.  Look at
beagled/ExternalStringsHack.cs.in to see the basics on how to do this.

* Since you're just doing one string concatenation for each directory, there's
no need to create a StringBuilder.  You can just do:

   Dirs.Add (fullpath.ToString () + "applications/");

and then deal with just strings.  If there were a lot more using a StringBuilder
would be more advantageous.

Updated Launcher Patch

This patch contains fix's for the StringBuilder and pkg-config problems that
Joe mentioned.	KDE support will have to wait till I can figure out how to find
the KDE icons.

Patch works against CVS.

sorry for the delay, this looks good to commit.
