Launchpad Integration with the deskop: thoughts?

[Sivan Green]

Hi List,


 As per the intent to make accessing rosetta's service
 offerings clickable from the desktop, I experimented bits
 with some of the gnome base libs and tend to think  that the
 right place for this is maybe on each application "About"
 boxes, which in  few gnome  apps are already used to reference 
 the user to the app's  website, to report a bug onto gnome's bugzilla etc.

 The idea is to patch libgnomeui and libgtk at the about
 boxes code level, to include buttons that would open
 moz-firefox windows , with the matching rosetta, malone,
 and doap pages of the application. This would:

   1) Make the patches small and relatively non intrusive.
   2) Reach many apps with 2-3 centeralized patches.


 Does this sound sane?
