If that's the case than I agree that it doesn't make much sense to have a desktop file. > I also removed the Debian menu file for kxterm as of cernlib 2006.dfsg.2-6, > for the same reason. Ok. > Would you happen to know if the person who submitted the desktop file > had a reason for it other than "every GUI app should have a desktop > file" ? All I know is from the bug report I linked to my email. I stumbled against this while merging cernlib for our gfortran transition and noticed this small delta that we were carrying since quite a while, I can only guess that this was triggered by the presence of the menu file, which, as you say, is now removed. > If there is a use case for someone starting kxterm from the GUI > or command line with no parent application driving it, I'll be happy to > add it, but I'm not aware of one right now. Not that I'm aware either. As far as I'm concerned, with your assessment that there is no reason that an user needs to be able to access this application through the desktop menu, we can close this as an invalid bug and I will remove the desktop file from our package.
