I've started seeing these with latest Xfce git:
* /usr/share/applications/example.desktop: value
"XFCE;GTK;Settings;DesktopSettings;X-XFCE-SettingsDialog;X-XFCE-SystemSettings;"
for key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" contains an
unregistered value "XFCE"; values extending the format should start
with "X-"
And I've discussed it at #xfce-dev on Freenode with 2 developers and
the response was that this won't be changing and it's correct.
Therefore I'm suggesting XFCE to be included in the
http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html
The same way GNOME is there right now:
GNOME Application based on GNOME libraries GTK
XFCE Application based on XFCE libraries GTK
May I ask what's the use case? I know that we have GNOME and KDE there,
but I'm not even sure why we have them in the first place :-)
My first reaction when I saw the warning was to change everything to
X-XFCE since I don't see any point in these desktop specific categories
either. But that's just me.
It would be analogous to GNOME and KDE, but that's probably too simplist
for a reasoning?
I've asked on the #xfce-dev IRC channel on Freenode for better reasoning
minute ago, we'll see if I can come up with something more sane.
I've sent a patch years ago to the xscreensaver author (jwz) to add
X-XFCE; in the xscreensaver-properties.desktop. When XFCE; or X-XFCE; is
coupled with Settings; in Categories= the Xfce Settings Manager can show
a icon of it:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~ssuominen/xfce4-settings-manager.png
xscreensaver-properties.desktop (as shipped with xscreensaver itself)
looks like:
Categories=Settings;DesktopSettings;Security;X-XFCE;
I guess it would make sense to standardize the XFCE; in the spec then...
Unless someone convinces the Xfce developers to make use of
OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn for the Settings Manager.
I'll see if I can come up with more ;-)
