That line is not really so mysterious. It's quite common for an application made for, say GNOME, to have OnlyShowIn=GNOME if there is a similar application in other desktop environments. In this case it's probably just a leftover from the defaults in Ubuntu, in a package that seems to be badly in need of some love from the maintainer. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5
