It made it hard to find specific examples of the problem that you're reporting. Here, though, is a good example: > /usr/share/applications/kde/d3lphin.desktop:Type=Application Some searching turns up the discussion at: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2006-August/006899.html which reveals that Actions is apparently a KDE-specific feature that isn't documented in the current standard but should be added in a newer version. Sorry about this. I personally don't use *.desktop files, so we get caught between a rock and a hard place when people push them as an improvement over the menu system, and then the standard to which people point me doesn't actually reflect reality. It would have been great if the desktop folks would have written up what the real standard is so that we could code to it, but that appears to not be available, so everyone has to suffer through trying to figure out exactly what parts of the standard are real and what parts KDE has done its own thing with. I'll add Actions to the KDE-specific key section of the check. So. Is there anything else that KDE does differently with the *.desktop standard from everyone else that we need to take into account? (Like the slew of Category errors from app-install-data, for example, from using categories that really aren't valid according to the current standard?) -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
