Hi all,
I've been browsing through the mail archive and the freebsd-gnome site,
but I can't seem to find an answer to this. I want to install a
.desktop file for integrating an application into the gnome and kde
menus. I see that installing it in ${X11BASE}/share/gnome/applications
makes gnome find it ok, but I was thinking that perhaps
${LOCALBASE}/share/applications would be more appropriate and cross-DE.
Perusing the ports tree I see most gnome apps use the former, whereas
most kde apps use some variant of the latter, like
${LOCALBASE}/share/kde/applications. So my question is, do we have a
"standard", DE-agnostic place for these files? Also, do I have to run
update-desktop-database after putting them in there?
Thanks,
Panagiotis
