I think you will find that Gentoo follows the $upstream releases much |
| 7 |
more closely than other distributions... |

...so if some GUI application doesn't have a .desktop file provided by |
| 12 |
$upstream, Gentoo probably will not have it. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
However it is perfectly reasonable to file bugs in bugs.gentoo.org |
| 15 |
about this, and request a .desktop file be added. It is even better |
| 16 |
if you can make a .desktop file yourself, and attach it to the bug |
| 17 |
report. |

Did you preserve your ~/.kde directories from another system? If so, |
| 22 |
you may have .desktop files there that account for the duplicate |
| 23 |
entries. |

Not sure what you mean by "other". I have "More Applications" |
| 30 |
sub-menus, but no "Other" menus. But assuming this is what you mean, |
| 31 |
this is controlled by the X-KDE-More category in the .desktop file. |
| 32 |
Again, this is a case of Gentoo following $upstream more closely. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
If you really don't like this, you can: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
find /usr/kde/3.5/share/applications -name "*.desktop" -exec \ |
| 37 |
sed -i -e "s/X-KDE-More;//g" {} \; |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
But bewarned, gentoo will then refuse to remove the .desktop files |
| 40 |
when you go to a new KDE version, since their mtime and md5sum will no |
| 41 |
longer match what gentoo thinks they should be. So you may have to do |
| 42 |
a bit of manual cleanup from time-to-time. Or you can use quickpkg to |
| 43 |
make binary tarballs of the KDE packages, and then re-install from |
| 44 |
those, which will fix the mtime/md5 sums in the package database to |
| 45 |
match what you changed. |
