Skype Installation

[Carlos A. Paramio]

This thread makes me think... It would be great if you could install a
deb package simply double-clicking on the corresponding icon.

Maybe a script like this, associated with application/x-debian-package
mime type, would be a solution.

---------------------8X--------------------------
#!/bin/sh

CONFIRM_TITLE="Installation of a package"
CONFIRM_TEXT="Please confirm that you want to install this package and
all his dependences."
INSTALL_SUCCESS="Package was installed succesfully."
INSTALL_ERROR="There was an error while trying to install the package."

install_pkg() {
  gksudo "dpkg -i $1" && gksudo "apt-get -f install"
  if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    /usr/bin/zenity --info --text "$INSTALL_SUCCESS"
  else
    /usr/bin/zenity --error --text "$INSTALL_ERROR"
  fi
}

/usr/bin/zenity --question \
                --title "$CONFIRM_TITLE" \
                --text "$CONFIRM_TEXT" && install_pkg $1
