Yes, it is. But it does not /decide/ anything about them. Efreet knows about your .desktop files, and builds a menu based on the rules given by your .menu file. > I am talking > about the software responsible for the three icons on the Illume > "desktop" at > > > http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/bugs/e17-fonts_GTA01/e17_default_285-dpi.png > > AFAIK, there is no menu involved there. > Yes, there is. > The Illume "desktop" does not show the following .desktop file, which is > perfectly valid according to > > > http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-1.0.html > > ===== > debian-gta01:~# cat /usr/share/applications/category-utility.desktop > [Desktop Entry] > Name=UTILITY > Comment=Category Utility > Exec=/dev/null > Type=Application > Icon=debian > Categories=Utility; > debian-gta01:~# > ===== > > However, if you change "Categories=Utility;" with "Categories=System;", > the .desktop file is now shown.

If a particular .desktop is not shown on the desktop, it's because the .menu has no rule matching it (or because of a bug in efreet's code, like #514018, but unlikely related to the specification itself) > Please feel free to ask for more examples, it seems I am not able to > pass the message, sorry. I don't think this is necessary. However, I'd like to see what menu file e17 is using. You can find that out by running the following command: eet -d .e/e/config/<profile>/e.cfg config /dev/stdout | grep default_system_menu If the result is empty, it's using either ~/.config/menus/applications.menu , /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu , or /etc/xdg/menus/e17-applications.menu (sorted). I suspect it's using the e17-provided menu, which would actually cause your issue Regards, -- Albin Tonnerre
