I would like it if netx had a way to
download a .jnlp file and create a .desktop file
usable with kde or gnome. It should at least
download the icon (if any) and set up the .desktop
file to point to it. Ideally netx would also
download the jars needed for the application and
put them in the cache.

In the end what I would like to be able to do is
drag a .jnlp link from mozilla to the panel, and
have it show up as a new launcher. Pre-downloading
the jars would be nice as it would let me set up a
launcher on my laptop, disconnect, and still be able
to run the application later (i.e., without running
it a first time).
