Currently xdot does not have a desktop file, so we cannot select xdot in the "Open with" dialog of a desktop manager. This is really inconvenient as we can't open a ".dot" (graphviz) file from a GUI file manager (e.g. Nautilus).

It would be good if we can add a desktop entry file and register xdot to text/vnd.graphviz MIME type.

Debian already does that, and we might reuse their desktop file (I've tested it on ArchLinux and it works): https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/python-apps/packages/xdot/trunk/debian/xdot.desktop?view=markup
This task depends upon
