s/capabilities/icons/ I presume, given the context.
Yes, it would work, and wouldn't require any changes... for ELF executables. There are still shell/Perl/Python/Tcl/you-name-it scripts to deal with, however --- not to mention icons for files. (The OS/2 model uses the .ICO-with-same-rootname mechanism for scripts etc., with executables having their default icons as resources; EAs are used for user-assigned icons.) This problem also came up with capabilities, you may recall.
