.desktop files say OnlyShowIn=GNOME, should be NotShowIn=KDE;

[Vincent]

The gnome-utils, gcalctool and other packages, assigned to this bug, are perfectly useful in lots of desktop environments, like Enlightenment, XFCE, Window-Maker, LXDE, however, they are set to only be displayed in Gnome or XFCE.

/usr/share/applications/*.desktop files in these packages (for example gcalctool.desktop, gnome-search-tool.desktop, baobab.desktop, gnome-system-log.desktop, gnome-dictionary.desktop, gfloppy.desktop, gnome-screenshot.desktop, etc) *all* contains OnlyShowIn=GNOME or GNOME;XFCE , but should have NotShowIn=KDE;

As said, they can equally well be used in lots of desktop environments, like Enlightenment, XFCE, Window-Maker, LXDE, so in that case it would have to be NotShowIn=KDE; . Some these apps may be useful in a KDE environment too, but perhaps this shouldn't be discussed in this bug.

Thanks for your report.

I've added a comment about that on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431117

Why the ubiquity task? ubiquity-gtkui.desktop has:

  OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;

... and since it required explicit porting work for both those desktop environments I think this is fairly reasonable.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

In fact, I'll just mark the ubiquity task "Won't Fix" for the time being. If there is a reason why my previous argument doesn't hold up then feel free to reopen.

[Vincent (vinnl)]

gcalctool and restricted-manager also show up fine for me in Gutsy. Mantas Kriaučiūnas, why did you add those? Which version are you using?

Why ubiquity can be used only in GNOME and XFCE ? I'm developing small Ubuntu-based distro with LXDE (http://lxde.sf.net) environment and ubiquity-gtk works fine there, also ubiquity-gtk works fine in Enlightenment E17 desktop environment. I've updated description of this bug, please, change OnlyShowIn to NotShowIn=KDE, several ubuntu apps, like displayconfig-gtk already changed from OnlyShowIn to NotShowIn=KDE

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

The ubiquity GTK frontend has explicit handling for GNOME and XFCE to deal with disabling volume managers; if this weren't there then it would cause difficult bugs during partitioning. (It also has explicit reboot handling for GNOME.) I am not prepared to say that it works in any desktop environment without similar explicit handling. If you've confirmed it to work end-to-end in some other desktop environment, please send a patch to enable it in OnlyShowIn.
