           Summary: a simple way to install .bin and .run file!
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: brainstorm at forum.kde.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
Installed from:    I Don't Know

By Definition, the lambda user cannot use the terminal. So, he has some trouble
to install .bin file.

For example, a user want to install Google earth.
-1 : he downloads the file : GoogleEarthLinux.bin
-2 : he try to run it by double clicking on icon..
-3: he cry Ms windows is better than linux!! Because he cannot install google
earth...

So, someone will answer me to use marble instead...
Another example, if the lamda user want to install Big 3d games, like quake
War. This is a *.run file. He must before clicking, set the file to executable
mode....

So, this problem can be resolve very easily, by set by defaut to open it in a
terminal and set it on executable mode.

(Added after: Someone don't understand my message. I didn't say to set rwx
executable by default. I m saying launch an executable by clicking... means
with window Root password asking )

I m waiting for your suggestion.
