Useless (and untranslated) desktop file

[Lionel Le Folgoc]

Binary package hint: xscreensaver

Hi,

Xscreensaver installs two desktop files, /usr/share/applications/xscreensaver.desktop and /usr/share/applications/xscreensaver-properties.desktop.

Diff between these two:
--- /usr/share/applications/xscreensaver.desktop 2009-09-08 17:01:39.253438835 +0200
+++ /usr/share/applications/xscreensaver-properties.desktop 2009-07-15 01:04:01.000000000 +0200

Both start the same command...

Imho, /usr/share/applications/xscreensaver.desktop should be dropped. It isn't translated (missing X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain), and is in the wrong section: System (the second one is already in the correct section: Settings).

Cheers,
Lionel

FWIW, the Debian package only ships the (translated) /usr/share/applications/xscreensaver-properties.desktop.

Having removed gnome-screensaver and installed xscreensaver in Xubuntu 9.10, I can confirm this issue.
