Not true; the default behaviour, according to the specification <URL:http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/1.0/ar01s05.html>, is “implementation-defined” in the absence of the ‘StartupNotify’ key. > Therefore, while the standard is correct not to mark the > ‘StartupNotify’ key as “required”, I think every *current* > ‘foo.desktop’ file should have this key, explicitly declaring its > value. I think this recommendation is even stronger, to avoid falling back on implementation-defined behaviour for startup notification. > Are there any other “recommended” keys like this: that, though the key > is optional, it is best to specify it anyway? I'm still interested in this. I have implemented a tag for this, ‘desktop-entry-missing-recommended-key’, and submitted it as a bug report against Lintian <URL:http://bugs.debian.org/540484>. -- \ “In case you haven't noticed, [the USA] are now almost as | `\ feared and hated all over the world as the Nazis were.” —Kurt | _o__) Vonnegut, 2004 | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
