[Bug 1002027] Re: missing start menu entries in xubuntu menu editor

2012-05-21 Thread Andreas Dorian Gerdes
Hi Guys,

I just happened to run into the same thing with nxplayer-4.0.181-1.
A workaround is to edit the NoMachine*.desktop entries in 
/usr/share/applications/:

/usr/share/applications$ sudo vim NoMachine-*
5 files to edit

Just append the line
NoDisplay=true
at the end of each file. xfce4 will not further annoy you with two entries of 
the same name.

If desired you can now add a new item to the existing Internet menu manually 
using the menu editor.
You will even find a nice icon from Nomachine (choose All Icons)

Cheers
Andreas

OK, me again.

The workaround is nice (I don't like more than one subsection in my
menus anyway), but does of course not explain, why xfce does create the
second Internet entry.

One explanation might be that the NoMachine*.desktop files do not contain a 
'Categories' line, which would sort them into the right section.
Source: http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu (sub-heading 'The Other 
sub-menu'):

If there are any .desktop files which are configured to be displayed in
the xfdesktop menu but do not have any categories which include them in
any of the defined menus, the Other sub-menu will be displayed and will
display those entries. This applies to .desktop files in the
$prefix/share/applications/ directory as well as the
~/.local/share/applications directory.

So: if the NoMachine developers would patch their .desktop files, xfce would 
display them properly.
You can fiddle around with that. Perhaps the line

Categories=GNOME;GTK;Network;

(taken from /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop) will do.
