[Hardy] KDE keyboard tools shown in GNOME

[Milan Bouchet-Valat]

Binary package hint: kdebase

In Gutsy, the package kdebase-bin installs 3 .desktop files into /usr/share/applications that show up in Applications -> Others under GNOME. These are: keyboard.desktop - keyboard_layout.desktop - khotkeys.desktop

This is really annoying because it makes an additional entry appear and confuse users with no use.
Often on GNOME, you need kdebase to be installed (eg to run Rosegarden or KTouch...). But you don't need any KDE entries on your menu.

Is that kdebase fault or GNOME's? Please correct this trivial bug before Gutsy is released.

Thanks for your bug. That's not a gnome-menus issue, those items should have a OnlyShowIn=KDE; to not be listed under GNOME

Default parameters hide them by default now, I can't find out what version did fix it.

[Milan Bouchet-Valat (nalimilan)]

This has reappeared in Hardy (kdebase-bin 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7). The fix should be applied again, for some reason it has been dropped. Would somebody raise the improtance? This is easy and safe to fix but major.

Take into account the second bug open at KDE, which is not fixed (yet).

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

Going to be fixed in Intrepid.

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

Resolved in Intrepid.
Thank you.
