The automagic creation of icons for ISO files is a byproduct of konqueror, based on filename extensions. This functionality is not present in Xtdesktop.
However, if the user could ensure the ISO file is placed in a pre-determined location in the filesystem, a small shell script could be written to check said directory every so often for the presencse of an ISO and generate an icon on the desktop.
Such an icon could be set to execute a script (possibly setuid?) to check if an iso is already mounted at a predetermined mount point (/mnt/whatever). If not it could go ahead and mount the ISO to said mount point.
But then, why go through all the effort to create magic mount icons when all you have to do is open a terminal `sudo su' to root and type:
| Code Sample | | mount -t iso9660 -o loop youriso.iso /mnt/wherever |
