I had a closer look at <URL:http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html#category-registry>, and checked which categories googleearth and celestia are using, as they are somewhat similar in function to gpredict: googlearth: Application;Network celestia: Astronomy;Education;Science Based on this, I suggest Application, Network, Education, Astronomy and Science is added to the gpredict desktop file. This will make gpredict show up in several places in the menu, making it easier to find, and avoid it showing up in lost+found for those without the extra-xdg-menus package installed. Those with the package installed will still find it in the HamRadio toplevel menu, as well as several other locations. :) The patch is tested and found to be working. diff -ur gpredict-1.1/debian/gpredict.desktop gpredict-1.1-pere/debian/gpredict.desktop --- gpredict-1.1/debian/gpredict.desktop 2010-01-31 11:40:42.000000000 +0100 +++ gpredict-1.1-pere/debian/gpredict.desktop 2010-01-31 11:40:27.000000000 +0100 @@ -6,4 +6,4 @@ Icon=gpredict.png Terminal=false Type=Application -Categories=HamRadio; +Categories=Application;Network;HamRadio;Education;Astronomy;Science; Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
