Removing app-install-data: $grep -lr 'Actions=' /usr/share/applications/kde/ /usr/share/applications/ /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/ | sort -u | xargs -r egrep -l '^Type=' | xargs -r dpkg -S | sort -u | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u d3lphin kcometen3 kdebase-bin kscreensaver kscreensaver-xsavers ktux > > Here, though, is a good example: > > > /usr/share/applications/kde/d3lphin.desktop:Type=Application > > Some searching turns up the discussion at: > > http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2006-August/006899.html > > which reveals that Actions is apparently a KDE-specific feature that isn't > documented in the current standard but should be added in a newer version. > > Sorry about this.

Checking the generated report for desktop-entry-contains-unknown-key[1] shows some common extra entries like: Patterns, PreferredItems, PreferredGroups GNOME-related apps seem to often use MultipleArgs. But I can't really help with those because I really don't know what they are used for. > > -- > Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> > [1] http://lintian.debian.org/reports/Tdesktop-entry-contains-unknown-key.html Sincerely, -- Atomo64 - Raphael Please avoid sending me Word, PowerPoint or Excel attachments.
