openbox.desktop has Type= "XSession"

[Balaam's Miracle]

During and after installing today's updates (5-29-2013) my console was spammed with the following message :

kbuildsycoca4(31550)/kdecore (services) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/applications/openbox.desktop" has Type= "XSession" instead of "Application" or "Service"

kbuildsycoca4(31550) KBuildServiceFactory::createEntry: Invalid Service : "/usr/share/applications/openbox.desktop"

I went to the #kubuntu IRC channel on freenode, and it was suggested that i'd report this.

This was handled incorrectly.

There was already a bug report regarding the desktop file that was also handled incorrectly, bug 1220257

The real problem was that Ubuntu has been packaging an outdated version of openbox with an incorrect version number (this was actually 3.5.0; 3.5.2's .desktop does not have this problem)

[quequotion (quequotion)]

Maybe just the .desktop file is outdated.

Ubuntu has been packaging "data/gnome-wm-properties/openbox.desktop" but the correct file is "data/openbox.desktop"

The other file should be removed from the source tree, but it's probably been forgotten.
