Implementations of launchers, or their libraries. In case of KDE probably some library in kdelibs but maybe also some higher level component in kdebase. > http://efod.se/blog/archive/2006/01/07/the-xdg-menu-standard-parsers-in-kde > - and-gnome > > This link shows that it seems to be KDE/Gnome's responsibility to parse and > show menus. If so, my question is that, does KDE fully follow the XDG menu > specs? How could I dig in to find out why the menu attributes are ignored? The general idea is that the spec is fully supported, though new additions or changes might take a while to become implemented. I suggest to ask on the plasma-devel list, as it is the main discussion list for workspace related topics (such as the launcher).
