well, i know that for now only txt and html are planned to be used, but
you could make this more generic and avoid the check with 'file' if
using the 'see' command...

well, has somebody took a look through the gnome or kde menu system?
i've investigated a little, and i've found no automagically script for
doing something like /usr/lib/menu/cdd-menu, but i've thought of
something that might be a workaround...
we could create menu files on /etc/cdd/<CDD>/{gnome,kde} for Gnome and
KDE, respectively, and when updating the menus, symlinks to there could
be created for each CDD/role if the user is on it (for example, in
Gnome symlinks to /etc/cdd/<CDD>/gnome could be created on
$HOME/.gnome2/vfolders)
what do you think?
Bye bye
