Re: pgadmin3.desktop patch

[Nathan Egge <nathanegge(at)yahoo(dot)com>]

I believe I've answered my own question.  The pgadmin3-1.2.2.ebuild contains the following 3 lines that are not in the pgadmin3-1.4.3.ebuild:

dodir /usr/share/applnk/Development
cp ${S}/pkg/pgadmin3.desktop ${D}/usr/share/applnk/Development/pgadmin3.desktop
chmod 644 ${D}/usr/share/applnk/Development/pgadmin3.desktop

The applnk dir is scanned for additional .desktop files to explicitly include based on the file system hierarchy, see the following:

http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/ar01s07.html

This method of categorizing .desktop (placing them in the /applnk directory) entries been deprecated in favor of the Categories line.

I hope this has cleared up any confusion.

What version of GNOME are you running?  On my 2.14 installation the pgAdmin III entry shows up under Programming just fine.  However, on my fresh 2.16 installation it only shows up if I add that Categories line.

I guess I'm confused about how it was correctly placed on my 2.14 installation.  There must be some configuration file that explicitly placed pgadmin3.dekstop in the right Application.directory.

Any ideas?
