Maybe I'm clued out here, but I've never had to have an AppInfo.xml file for
AppDir's to work. Just the shell script and an icon named .DirIcon.

In any case, there are easy to follow instructions on creating AppDir's, and
links to applications which will create 'wrappers' (AppDir's?) on the ROX site
(though I haven't been able to find those instructions since it changed to a
Wiki...).
