** Description changed:
Impact
------
+ Cinnamon (and the less popular EDE and LXQt) desktops are not recognized by
desktop-file-validate in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or 14.04 LTS.
+ This is a problem because the very popular Travis service for continuous
+ integration (CI) on platforms like Github still uses 12.04 LTS. Travis
+ offers a beta for 14.04 LTS. This caused this pull request to fail its
+ CI check:
+ https://travis-ci.org/zdohnal/system-config-printer/builds/222023750
Test Case
---------
+ 1. Save the following lines in a file named calc.desktop
+
+ [Desktop Entry]
+ Name=Calculator
+ Exec=gnome-calculator
+ Icon=accessories-calculator
+ Type=Application
+ OnlyShowIn=Cinnamon;LXQt;EDE;
+ Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;Calculator;
+
+ 2. Run
+ desktop-file-validate calc.desktop
+
+ The command should complete with no error message.
+
+ A failure would look something like:
+ calc.desktop: error: value "Cinnamon;LXQt;EDE;" for key "OnlyShowIn" in group
"Desktop Entry" contains an unregistered value "Cinnamon"; values extending the
format should start with "X-"
Regression Potential
---------------------
+ This only adds a few entries to the list of registered desktop environments.
+
+ This change is backported from desktop-file-utils 0.23 which is in
+ Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
** Changed in: desktop-file-utils (Ubuntu)
