This means it is useful as the default Linxu command for GLI's file assocations. Currently, the CentOS here doesn't recognise the xdg-open command, because it's not installed. (2) xdg-utils will allow Greenstone to install menu items/icons on desktops on various Linux desktop managers. http://portland.freedesktop.org/wiki/ Xdg-utils consists of the following installation related tools: *xdg-desktop-menu, install desktop menu items * xdg-desktop-icon, install icons to the desktop The idea is to include xdg-utils with Greenstone and run its operation to create menu/desktop icons as an ant target during installation of GS core.
