[Description Adam Hewgill 2004-06-30 17:53:26 UTC]

I have created a .desktop file and grabbed an icon off the web for nicotine
under Gnome.  These can be added to the nictine ebuild somehow (not sure
how it works myself)

Reproducible: Always

.desktop file for gnome

[Comment 3 Adam Hewgill 2004-06-30 17:56:57 UTC]

Sorry forgot to say where the two files belong on a gnome system.

the icon should go in /usr/share/pixmaps/nicotine-n.png
and the .desktop file goes in  /usr/share/applications/nicotine.desktop

Thanks  :o)

desktop-file-validate nicotine.desktop
nicotine.desktop: error: required key "Encoding" not found
nicotine.desktop: warning: boolean key "Terminal" has value "0", boolean values should be "false" or "true", although "0" and "1" are allowed in this field for backwards compatibility

so, add "Encoding=UTF-8" after line 1
and replace "Terminal=0" by "Terminal=false"

to have a compliant .desktop file

In CVS, thanks.
