Honestly I dont see how you came to that conclusion if you read the
first thread
on this topic.
But I do understand your concerns regarding /fd/ given the recent threads.
Encase you don't realize we are encounter the same/similar dilemma with
packagekit
( as I see it )
An end user double clicks an file that is open with application that he
does not have installed.
Do we present the end user with a choice on selecting which application
he would like to open from
available application and thus allow him to freely select and try
different application that can open/execute that file
or do we automatically make that chose for him and select and install
that application for him?
