Description of problem:
/etc/X11/applnk/Internet/sylpheed.desktop contains "Type=Internet" which is
invalid for KDE. Hence there is no KDE menu entry for Sylpheed.

Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2002-08-28 21:03:05 UTC

Type=Internet is invalid for GNOME too, it's pretty much total nonsense. ;-)

Should be Type=Application and Categories=Internet;Application;X-Red-Hat-Extra;

Use desktop-file-install in the %install phase of the spec file and it will
auto-validate the file. Also, you can use this to add the Categories line 
etc. See the examples in many other spec files.

Comment 3 Michael Schwendt 2002-08-29 21:26:11 UTC

> Categories=Internet;Application;X-Red-Hat-Extra;

Didn't work for me. Had to move the desktop file to /usr/share/applications and add

  Categories=Application;Network;X-Red-Hat-Extras;

to make it appear in "KMenu > Extras > Internet". With just Type=Application it
works fine on Valhalla, but not on Limbo or (null).

I also tried to add it to "KMenu > Internet" by adding X-Red-Hat-Base; but that
didn't work cleanly together with Extra. This categories thing is confusing, any
docs anywhere?

In (null) only four desktop files are left in /etc/X11/applnk and none of them
is displayed in the KDE menu:

# find /etc/X11/applnk -name \*\.desktop
/etc/X11/applnk/System/hwbrowser.desktop
/etc/X11/applnk/System/cups.desktop
/etc/X11/applnk/Graphics/ImageMagick.desktop
/etc/X11/applnk/Internet/sylpheed.desktop

Comment 4 Havoc Pennington 2002-08-29 21:37:14 UTC

/etc/X11/applnk stuff is supposed to be merged in (may be under Extras->Other
though).

You can find info on Categories on http://freedesktop.org, draft vfolder spec.

Comment 5 Michael Schwendt 2002-08-29 23:34:53 UTC

Thanks. http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/VFolderDesktops.txt confirms
"Internet" is no Standard Category. "Network" is. And yes, entries in
/etc/X11/applnk/Internet are merged as "Application;Network;Merged;" which is
"KMenu > Extras > Internet".

Fixed in sylhpeed-0.8.2-1

I've also mailed to the author but failed to get reply.

Comment 7 Alfons Hoogervorst 2002-08-30 08:50:55 UTC

you can send me the final patch, and i'll can push it up to Hiro.

Comment 8 Alfons Hoogervorst 2002-08-30 09:02:09 UTC

never mind: Hiro already applied it.
