Public bug reported: Discovered this while working on a DRM-free release of an unannounced game port to Linux.
Mojosetup calls xdg-desktop-menu to populate the system menu, but this tool does a splatter-shot approach to getting the desktop entries installed and creates with `mkdir -p` ~/.gnome/apps/ whether the user uses that now very old Gnome 2 location or not. Currently $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications/ is used by most|some DEs. I have no idea how the KDE side of this behaves. There is a dormant upstream bug report with a patch attached here https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90775 ** Affects: xdg-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xdg-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1548866 Title: xdg-desktop-menu creates ~/.gnome/apps/ Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Discovered this while working on a DRM-free release of an unannounced game port to Linux.
