Bug 71077 – duplicate KDE menu entries for xmms

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description ta2002 2004-11-13 12:00:33 UTC]

I have always had two entries in my kde menus for
xmms. It seems like the ebuild adds an extra one
in /usr/share/applications (the only application
there). It looks like the following would fix it:

--- xmms-1.2.10-r9.ebuild.old   2004-11-09 00:12:25.000000000 +0000
+++ xmms-1.2.10-r9.ebuild       2004-11-13 00:00:00.000000000 +0000

Actual Results:  
Two menu entries under Multimedia

/usr/share/applications is the freedesktop.org location to put .desktop files.  If youu have a duplicate entry, then you need to remove the other one (which is most likely installed by kappfinder).

Perhaps the kde team will want to remove that .desktop from the kappfinder database...

The extra one is
        insinto /usr/share/applnk/Multimedia
        doins ${FILESDIR}/xmms.desktop

but it was removed in xmms-1.2.10-r9.ebuild.

If you haven't installed that version yet, maybe emerging it would be enough?

Yes, installing 1.2.10-r9 solved the problem. Thanks.
Sorry I didn't think of trying the unstable version.
