Public bug reported: This is a duplicate of #600538, but since I couldn't find a way to re- open that bug...
This is happening for me in 13.10, but a commenter on that ticket suggests it was even a regression as of 12.04 kdiff3-qt does not provide a desktop file. The desktop file provided in the kde variant has some special parameters in the Exec= part which seem to confuse gnome, at least it does not start while this parameters are there. And last, Categories are missing completely inside the desktop file. I derived a new desktop file from the provided one which works on gnome and puts kdiff3 under category development. ** Affects: kdiff3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: This is a duplicate of #600538, but since I couldn't find a way to re- open that bug... + + This is happening for me in 13.10, but a commenter on that ticket + suggests it was even a regression as of 12.04 kdiff3-qt does not provide a desktop file.
