Actually the new kde and gnome releases both support the same menu files |
| 16 |
IN THE SAME LOCATION. Those files need to be in /usr/share/applications, |
| 17 |
and follow the freedesktop menu specification. The main difference with |
| 18 |
"traditional" kde .desktop files is that a Categories entry must be |
| 19 |
present. With current releases just putting a file there "just works". |

We indeed might want to have some way to synchronize file associations |
| 27 |
between gnome and kde. That will probably be worked on by the respective |
| 28 |
projects though. |
