Created attachment 289697 [details, diff] patch to acroread-9.4.2.ebuild for .desktop file fix As per the freedesktop Desktop Entry Specification, if an application takes files or URL's as arguments then it needs one of %f/%F/%u/%U (as appropriate) as an argument to the command. Currently, the .desktop file for acroread does not have this, and it means that in i.e. Gnome (2 and 3) one cannot select Acrobat Reader from the "Open With (other applications)" list (and therefore choose it to be a default for .pdf files) Please fix. Note also that in Gnome-2, it seems there is an additional bug where Acrobat Reader doesn't show up on the Recommended Applications list, due to the MimeType line not being last. This is annoying but not something that I think should be fixed on this package. I am attaching a patch which sed's the .desktop file appropriately.
Applied, thanks!
