Re: localapps to speedy ?

One thought I had was that if we make everything magical, we need to
have overrides, as well.  I may want firefox to run locally on some thin
clients but not others, but have a single boot image.  Also, I may want
to run certain binaries on the client that would not have .desktop files
associated with them.

There may be no sane way to make everything 100% magical in any case.
Thoughts?
