If that .desktop file was that critical for GNOME functionality, then why it is not installed by vendor Makefiles and have to be hacked in in the port?? > DESKTOP_ENTRIES are for *basic* stuff and bsd.port.mk clearly says > complex desktop files cannot use it: Yes but I see no need to abandon DESKTOP_ENTRIES for a simple port like links.. -- -- Pav Lucistnik <p...@oook.cz> <p...@freebsd.org> "Ragtime" contained about forty-five seconds of Elizabeth McGovern completely topless, but it got a "PG" in 1980.
