Bug 443010 – KDE does not respect Category=Network in the Desktop Menu Spec

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Toralf Förster 2012-11-13 19:05:46 UTC]

Otherwise the KDE icon is putted into "Lost & Found":

diff /usr/share/applications/spicy-spice-gtk.desktop spicy-spice-gtk.desktop 
8c8
< Categories=Network;
---
> Categories=net;

I suggest KDE get fixed since its not complying with the Desktop Menu Spec which says the correct category is Network.

To avoid a confusion - the package has to be fixed b/c KDE is right in ignoring "net;" (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310520)

It looks like the package does use 'Network':

I re-emerged the package again, now I do have too:
Categories=Network;RemoteAccess;

/me wondering but closing this bug is invalid
