Description Rune Morling 2014-03-22 16:20:41 UTC
Description of problem:

When GNOME Shell and Cinnamon 2.0 are installed in parallel on F20, control panel applets from one DE show up in the menu of the other DE, which can be confusing/annoying.

The reason is that Cinnamon currently co-opts the GNOME OnlyShowIn=GNOME .desktop file parameter in Cinnamon 2.0.

Clem (the Cinnamon project lead) notes that this will be worked around in Cinnamon 2.2 (the 2.2 workaround has already landed in the Git Master branch) and that it will hopefully be fixed properly by Cinnamon 2.4.

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install @gnome-desktop and @cinnamon at the same time
2. Visit each DE menu

Actual results:

Note that several control panel applets are duplicated.

Expected results:

Control panel applets should not be duplicated.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 11:20:21 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Setting Version to rawhide cause reproducible in Fedora 22 as well.
Please backport a patch for all f23/22/21/20, when available.

No. GNOME does not need to be installed to can reproduce.

I can see this regression with Cinnamon 2.6.x and Fedora 22, too.

So no cinnamon apps show in gnome (if they do it's their bug), as for the surplus gnome-control-center apps showing in cinnamon, that issue hasn't been addressed.

Comment 7 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 14:41:49 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

My original issue with fedora-release-notes (bug #1227439) is gone in Fedora 23 with fedora-release-notes 23.02 and cinnamon 2.8.6 packages.
