[Vectorlinux-devel] XFCE Helpers

[John B <joh...@gm...>]

As incognu mentioned in the Seamonkey packaging thread, the Internet Suite
menu item shows up twice in KDE. I have confirmed this on my own box as
well. When writing any XFCE helpers, aka .desktop files, please include the
following line in them:

NotShowIn=KDE

When this line appears in a .desktop file, the item will not appear in the
KDE menu.

Going on a tangent here, if you have the gtk-qt-engine built against KDE
3.5.4/3.5.5 installed on VL 5.8, you'll see GTK Themes and Fonts appear
twice in the KDE Control Center. This is because there is a clone of the KDE
menu item in /usr/share/applications. That item does need to be there, but
it should not be visible in KDE. It's there mainly for use with Gnome or
other DE's.

I think I need to file a bug report at the home page of the gtk-qt theme
engine so that this issue is fixed on their end. Until the author fixes
this, the fix is actually easy to add to the build script in the form of a
sed command.

Cheers,
John
