Hi While adding support to Wine to write desktop entries with Type=Link for Internet shortcuts, I noticed that Gnome doesn't show them in menus.
According to Gnome's bugzilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374577), this is correct according to the menu spec: only Type=Application is supported in menus. But it seems to me to be a pretty big omission, and several people/projects have been bitten by this bug: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBINSTALL-276 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=355001 Is there some reason for this? The workaround seems to be to make a Type=Application entry that launches firefox, and make the URL an argument to firefox - but that introduces a dependency on firefox, ignores the desktop's default browser setting, and generally requires jumping through hoops. Can we please make Type=Link entries work in menus?
