Re: GtkAppChooser custom command patch



There will always be the case that some application will not do it properly. Instead of annoying the end-user, give him/her the option to fix it him/herself. It is not that it would hurt, it's rather a salvation for the daily highcups and struggle with beta/commercial applications.

I don't think we want that in the app chooser, I'm afraid.
Applications need to be installed properly, which will make them show
up in the list of application.  Turning the app chooser into a
fix-up-your-os tool is not the right answer.
