# qpkg -f -v /usr/share/gnome/apps/Internet/mozilla.desktop
net-www/mozilla-1.6-r1
# qpkg -f -v /usr/share/gnome/apps/Internet/mozillathunderbird.desktop
net-mail/mozilla-thunderbird-0.6-r1
# qpkg -f -v /usr/share/gnome/apps/Internet/mozillafirefox.desktop
net-www/mozilla-firefox-0.8-r3

While gnome-2.6 & co put *.desktop to '/usr/share/applications' which make them appear in both Gnome and KDE menu.

Comment 1 Stephane Loeuillet 2004-09-03 09:01:43 UTC

it seems that mozilla 1.7.2 installs its .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/

the only apps that i know that install in /usr/share/gnome/apps/ subdir are :

/usr/share/gnome/apps/Utilities/nmapfe.desktop
/usr/share/gnome/apps/Applications/gnotime.desktop
/usr/share/gnome/apps/Multimedia/mplayer.desktop
/usr/share/gnome/apps/Internet/pan.desktop
/usr/share/gnome/apps/Internet/gftp.desktop

to be scared, i did :
grep -r "/usr/share/gnome/apps" /usr/portage/*-*
(and i was really scared after that)

Comment 2 Stephane Loeuillet 2004-09-03 09:08:30 UTC

it was fixed in thunderbird 0.7
it was fixed in firefox 0.9

do the grep command i wrote in comment #1, you'll see we have a long way to make this legacy/gnome 1 path go away.

These are all fixed in the latest CVS versions.  This goes for mozilla, thunderbird, and firefox.
