It also has no way to add a new app. <rant>I'm sure there's a tool that will let me do so, but I resent the time I have to waste learning how. This is another thing I don't like about Gnome, this brain dead pseudo-registry. It was stupid when Windows did it, and it's stupid now. Why not just have a plain text file one can edit with any text editor, like Bell Labs intended us to?</rant> And adding it might be a Soviet herring. * I tested gedit. It uses US spelling. * Comment 7 of the related Gnome bug indicates no such entry for empathy in Lucid either. Maybe it would ignore one if I created it.
