This highlights an issue I've been meaning to bring up... The way we deal with creating panel/desktop launchers is by COPYING the Desktop Entry file. Desktop Entry files should, IMO, only be used to define applications. Launchers, etc., should be pointing to them instead. Another example where this breaks is if you uninstall an application, or if its binary name changes, or icon name, or translation of name or description... _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
