+Release notes for xdg-utils 1.0
+===============================
+
+xdg-utils 1.0 has been tested under the Gnome and KDE desktop environments
+on Debian, Fedora, Mandriva, Redhat RHEL4, SUSE and Xandros based Linux
+distributions. These release notes reflect test findings. Despite extensive
+testing it should be pointed out that xdg-utils is provided AS IS without
+warranty of any kind. See the LICENSE file for details.
+
+* general:
+    - When installing applications or file types for the current user only
+      (user mode) it may be necessary to restart the session in order for
+      the panel and filemanager to show the correct icons. This problem
+      typically occurs when the installation process required new
+      (hidden) directories to be created under the user's home directory.
+
+* xdg-mime: 
+    - xdg-mime query filetype may fail under Gnome on certain Debian
+      systems that do not have gnomevfs-info installed by default.
+
+* xdg-desktop-menu:
+    - On Redhat RHEL 4 systems running Gnome, new submenus will not appear
+      until the session is restarted. For testing purposes the command
+      "killall gnome-panel" can be used instead of restarting the session.
+      It is not recommended to use this as part of installation scripts
+      though.
+
+    - KDE based desktops may require several seconds to update the
+      application menu after installing new items. The user may need to
+      close the applications menu first before new items will show up.
+
+    - On SUSE systems, desktop entries that list any of the standard
+      menu Categories are often being placed in a "More Programs" submenu
+      which makes them somewhat hard to find.
+
+* xdg-screensaver:
+    - Screensaver locking does not work on KDE under SUSE 10.0
+
+* xdg-email:
+    - Please refer to http://portland.freedesktop.org/wiki/EmailConfig
+      for additional information on setting up the default E-mail client.
+
+    - With current versions of Mozilla Thunderbird it is not possible to
+      specify attachments. In order to send an attachment, the user will
+      need to attach the file manually.
+
+    - Older versions of KMail do not support multiple To or CC recipients.
