I understood from Byrial that we cannot just store these files somewhere,
butthat they should be installed bythe commands:

xdg-mime install --mode system --novendor xboard.xml
xdg-desktop-menu install --mode system --novendor pgn-viewr.desktop
... // other desktop files
xdg-icon-resource install --context mimetypes --size 48 pixmaps/board48.xpm
application-x-chess-pgn
xdg-icon-resource install --context mimetypes --size 48 pixmaps/cross48.xpm
x-xboard-pgn
... // other icon sizes

>I will, should be easy to add to the make file and building of the rpms

OK, but we should not make a developer release before this is done,
so it will be tested too.

Do you know any other ones? Except for my own ICS, I don't think any exist.
