Package: lintian Version: 2.2.12 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Some packages use 'OnlyShowIn=GNOME;' or 'OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;' or even OnlyShowIn=GNOME;KDE;XFCE; in it's XDG's .desktop file. But these packages are also works in desktops other than the desktops specificed, such as LXDE. Here are the list of packages in sid with keyword 'Show' in it's XDG autostart .desktop file: etc/xdg/autostart/xfce4-tips-autostart.desktop:OnlyShowIn=XFCE; etc/xdg/autostart/user-dirs-update-gtk.desktop:OnlyShowIn=GNOME; etc/xdg/autostart/update-notifier.desktop:OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE; etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-applet.desktop:OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE; etc/xdg/autostart/trackerd.desktop:OnlyShowIn=GNOME;KDE;XFCE; etc/xdg/autostart/parcellite-startup.desktop:OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE; etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop:NotShowIn=KDE; etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-volume-manager.desktop:OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE; etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-user-share.desktop:OnlyShowIn=GNOME; etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-osd-event-bridge.desktop:OnlyShowIn=GNOME; etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-at-session.desktop:OnlyShowIn=GNOME; etc/xdg/autostart/bluetooth-applet.desktop:OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE The nm-applet is a good example as it did that in a proper way. And somehow trackerd specificd only 'GNOME;KDE;XFCE;' but there are more desktops than 'GNOME;KDE;XFCE;' in debian. So, as the subject says, please give warning about 'OnlyShowIn=' in .desktop file.
