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. $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.1_pre2-r4 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1/vanilla, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.1 ccache version 2.4 [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r2 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: [Not Present] sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe" DISTDIR="/distpack/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig buildpkg buildsyspkg candy distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://mirror.ovh.net/gentoo-distfiles/ ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/" LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ALL="fr_FR.UTF-8" LINGUAS="fr fr_FR" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/distpack/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/var/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/bg-overlay" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aac alsa apache2 apm arts audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo cdr cli crypt cups curl dbus dlloader dri dts dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode esd exif fam ffmpeg firefox flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gimpprint gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal imlib isdnlog java jpeg kde ldap libg++ libnotify libwww logrotate mad mikmod mmx motif mozsvg mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg openal opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl seamonkey session spell spl sse sse2 ssl tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userlocales vorbis win32codecs xine xml xorg xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_evdev kernel_linux linguas_fr linguas_fr_FR userland_GNU video_cards_nvidia video_cards_nv" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Created attachment 91227 [details, diff] konqueror.desktop patch
(In reply to comment #0) > Currently, only one kde's application appear in the gnome menu : k3b. 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
(In reply to comment #6) > May be this PATH be set in /etc/env.d/45kdepaths-3.5 ? > > Thanks a lot for fixing this bug > Please, fix this for kde 3.5.6 :-) Thanks a lot :-)
This is fixed as of 3.5.6.
Thanks a lot :-)
