Description Paul Jenner 2002-07-23 19:10:06 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020712

Description of problem:
There is no entry for galeon in the GNOME application menus.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look around the GNOME application menus
2. Mozilla is there under "Internet" but galeon is not on any menu that I can find


Expected Results:  galeon should be in the Internet menu with Mozilla

Additional info:

/usr/share/gnome/apps/Internet/galeon.desktop exists and looks OK. However it is
not displayed in the menu I see (default GNOME set-up I believe).

Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2002-07-24 14:09:53 UTC
galeon needs to be in /usr/share/applications with 
Categories including X-Red-Hat-Extra;Network;Application;

then it should show up.

Comment 2 Paul Jenner 2002-07-24 20:36:34 UTC
Initially makes no difference.  Tried:

1) cp -p /usr/share/gnome/apps/Internet/galeon.desktop
/usr/share/applications/galeon.desktop
2) echo "Categories=X-Red-Hat-Extra;Network;Application;" >>
/usr/share/applications/galeon.desktop
3) logout then back in to Gnome in case required for menu refresh

Still galeon does not appear.

I should also have noted earlier that other desktop files in
/usr/share/gnome/apps (e.g. /usr/share/gnome/apps/Multimedia/ogle.desktop) do
appear as before.

I would put it down to a problem at my end (that I'll still work to solve) but
the desktop file for galeon is shipped with the Limbo galeon-1.2.5-5 package so
this is a valid distro bug.

Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2002-07-24 22:11:40 UTC
With my current test machine Galeon appears in All Applications -> Internet.
So I believe this is fixed in Rawhide.

Indeed, with the Limbo-re0726.1 tree, galeon is appearing in the 'All
Application/Internet' menu.
