Bugzilla Bug 139697

Hi,

Kde applications should appear in gnome menu.

For example, I have to apply attached patch and run next command as root to
make appear konqueror in the gnome's menu network subcategory.

# ln -s /usr/kde/3.5/share/applnk/konqueror.desktop
/usr/share/applications/konqueror.desktop

Currently, only one kde's application appear in the gnome menu : k3b.

Is there a more simple way to do it ?

Thanks.

In fact, I must specify that I'm using kdebase-meta, so all kde's apps are not
installed.

Others missing apps :

konsole
khelpcenter
kfontview
kwrite
kate
kde games
kinfocenter
kfind
kjobviewer

If icons are installed in /usr/share/icons or /usr/share/pixmaps instead of
/usr/kde/3.5/share/icons/, gnome and KDE are able to show the icon without this
line in the patch:
+Icon=/usr/kde/3.5/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/konqueror.png

This bug is caused bad gentoo politics on kde installation. If kde is installed
with --prefix=/usr this bug is fixed, but I don't know why gentoo KDE team
wants to install KDE in /usr/kde (and with SLOTS). I think that this politic
should change, I am not sure about users want to install KDE in slots (May be a
pool in forums.gentoo.org... :-/).

I think that is not needed to install KDE in separated SLOTs, migration can be
easily and succesfully done without preserve old KDE versions, like the most of
distributions does, for example, now, there isn't any other kde version than
3.5 in portage tree, then, SLOTs aren't being used. I think that this behavior
should be revised.

Thanks a lot

I have found the FIX :-D

Only is needed to be exported the following variable:
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/kde/3.5/share:/usr/share

I have done the following:
1. Log-out gnome session and switch to console.
2. echo "XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/kde/3.5/share:/usr/share" > /etc/env.d/99kdemenu
3. env-update
4. login again in gnome and... kde menu entries also appears ;-)

Thanks a lot for fixing it in the tree for all users :-)

May be this PATH be set in /etc/env.d/45kdepaths-3.5 ?

Thanks a lot for fixing this bug
