Yeah, I can comment - using e17 here. entrance (the CVS version) is |
| 8 |
broken :P and doesn't read/use any of them, you need to point it |
| 9 |
manually via ecore_config to the session file where you put all the |
| 10 |
commands you want to start. Also, its default config is broken for e17 |
| 11 |
because it points to /usr/bin/enlightenment while the actual binary is |
| 12 |
called enlightenment-0.17. Oh well, that's what you get with live cvs |
| 13 |
ebuilds. ;) |

The desktop files are a real mess: e17genmenu reads a couple of |
| 16 |
predefined locations automatically, otherwise you have to point it to an |
| 17 |
unexpected location manually if you want those desktop items added. |
| 18 |
Right now I have .desktop files scattered in: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
/usr/share/applications |
| 21 |
/usr/share/applnk/<category> |
| 22 |
/usr/kde/<version>/share/applications/kde |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
(The last one is something I'd really like to get rid of completely.) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I'm avoiding gnome apps as much as possible, but there's definitely a |
| 27 |
gnome-specific location for those as well. Benefit from this mess? |
| 28 |
Negative for me, captain. Please, standardize this. |

The same goes for icons locations - openoffice-bin installs png icons to |
| 31 |
/usr/share/pixmaps (?!), firefox-bin installs icons to |
| 32 |
/opt/firefox/icons, thunderbird-bin installs icons to |
| 33 |
/opt/thunderbird/icons which might seem right but allas nothing can find |
| 34 |
the icons in there and .desktop files are in /usr/share/applications anyway. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
There are issues w/ mime-types etc. as well, but this mail is getting |
| 37 |
long as it is, so leaving that for another one, perhaps. |
