Package: xfdesktop4
Version: 4.6.1-1
Severity: wishlist


Hello:

Since 2007 or so, XFCE4 has conformed to the freedesktop.org "standards" and
put the "Science" category into "Education".  This has been a topic of
discussion on the debian-science list and most agree that Science is not
always Education, and it is misleading to have research-oriented tools under
the "Education" heading.  KDE and Gnome have addressed this by having a top
level Science category and it would be nice if XFCE4 would do this as well. 
It seems unlikely that freedesktop.org will make Science a top level
category (we have asked and filed a bug several years ago).  Because of
this, upstream is unlikely to make changes either so a Debian-specific
change would be nice.  This would involve making changes in two packages,
xfdesktop4 and xfdesktop4-data.  The changes required are listed below.

1. in xfdesktop4 change /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu to have an 
entry which reads:
    <Menu>
        <Name>Science</Name>
        <Directory>xfce-science.directory</Directory>
        <Include>
            <Category>Science</Category>
        </Include>
    </Menu>

and modify the Education entry to read:
    <Menu>
        <Name>Education</Name>
        <Directory>xfce-education.directory</Directory>
        <Include>
            <And>
                <Category>Education</Category>
                <Not><Category>Science</Category></Not>
            <And> 
        </Include>
    </Menu>


2. in xfdesktop4-data add a file called xfce-science.directory in 
/usr/share/desktop-directories with the following contents (this has been
taken from kde-science.directory and gnome-science.directory).  The icons
are taken by default from the /usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/categories
directory and there is an applications-science.png icon there.

Package: garcon

Hi,

There is now a top-level science menu by default in garcon (the new menu
library for Xfce 4.8).

Cheers,
