Does not appear in Xfce's main menu

[Pierre Rudloff]

Binary package hint: gpointing-device-settings

I have installed gpointing-device-settings 1.5.1-4 from the Software Center and it tells me that it should be in Xfce > Settings > Pointing devices but it is not there.
However, I can launch it from a terminal.

PS : I am using Ubuntu 11.04.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

I would imagine this is likely due to the fact that gpointing-device-settings' desktop file include the following line:
OnlyShowIn=GNOME
(I also note that this prevents it from appearing in Unity's dash)

I have attached a bug watch to a bug in Debian, which is requesting that XFCE should be included as well.
