Hello, Desktop folk!
Currently, Unity pretends to be GNOME in some ways. Unity is a
registered XDG environment
(http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apb.html
<http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apb.html>) but no
tools look for its value, and few .desktop files use it.
It would be useful for various reasons (my immediate concern is only
showing one date & time control center panel) to be able to write
.desktop files that say OnlyShowIn=Unity. This is bug
https://launchpad.net/bugs/803519 .
So there's several tools that need to support that. But before I patch
those, I'd like most of the GNOME .desktop files to read
"OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;" instead of "OnlyShowIn=GNOME;".
I've done a few (nautilus, gnome-control-center), but I'd appreciate if
when ya'll do an upload (say, for 3.1.x upgrades), you could take a few
minutes and patch the .desktop file too. Additionally, send it upstream
to GNOME.
You can see examples in the bugs and patches linked to from
https://launchpad.net/bugs/803519
Then later (maybe next week), I can patch gnome-menus to respect the key.
Thanks!
