Description of problem: There are no menu entries for BrOffice.org in Rawhide. The .desktop files are in /usr/share/applications directory, but they don't actually launch the applications. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): broffice.org-calc-3.0.0-3.1.fc10.i386.rpm broffice.org-draw-3.0.0-3.1.fc10.i386.rpm broffice.org-impress-3.0.0-3.1.fc10.i386.rpm broffice.org-writer-3.0.0-3.1.fc10.i386.rpm Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install broffice.org-* 2. Go to Office category in GNOME Application menu. Actual results: Nothing related to BrOffice.org appears in Office category. Expected results: BrOffice.org apps should be listed in menu.
Created attachment 315442 [details] seems to work for me
Does manually running update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications make any difference ?
No, it don't. But I think I figure out where the problem is. I have removed the "TryExec" directive at the end of the .desktop files and it worked well. In broffice.org-*.desktop files the "TryExec" points to OpenOffice.org executable filenames. Maybe that's why the whole thing happens. I also noticed that these .desktop files have different permissions from other ones. Most files are rw-r--r-- but these ones are read-only.
Indeed, the TryExec is on the wrong set of .desktops, though it didn't make a serious difference here. Fix checked in, will be in >= 3.0.0-4.2
No TryExec in broffice.org-* now
