The bug can be trigger in feisty with the gcalctool application for example: Note: I do it with this language variable set: LANG="fr_CA.UTF-8"
* right click the application menu and choose "edit menus" it open alacarte * choose the accessories menu and change the name of calculator for a other name * apply and quit in the accessories the caculator have not change is name In the gcalctool package the fr.po file have those line: #: ../gcalctool/gtk.c:1505 ../gcalctool.desktop.in.h:1 msgid "Calculator" msgstr "Calculatrice" so even if i modify the copy desktop file: .local/share/applications/gcalctool.desktop with alacarte for my language like this: Name[fr_CA]=zCalculatrice gnome-desktop-item-edit still use the po file (.mo) and the name in the accessories menu is still "Calculatrice" instead of "zCalculatrice" so like you say gnome-desktop-item-edit could change the Name=Calculator entry in the .desktop file for anything else and the modification will work -- changing the name of some application doesn't work https://launchpad.net/bugs/85216 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
