Bug 113070 – gimp-2.2.9 removes gimp.desktop from my K Menu

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Krzysztof Raczkowski 2005-11-20 04:13:22 UTC]

After emerging gimp-2.2.9, a shortcut from KDE K Menu->Graphics had gone.
After small investigation I found out:
There is a @gimp-2.2.desktop link in /usr/share/applications pointing on /usr/
share/gimp/2.0/misc/gimp.desktop file, but I think, soft links are omitted by K 
Menu.
Moving /usr/share/gimp/2.0/misc/gimp.desktop file to /usr/share/applications fix 
this issue

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gimp-2.2.9
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
gimp entry in K Menu is gone

Expected Results:  
gimp entry in K Menu should still exist. Put in /usr/share/applications real 
gimp.desktop file instead of soft link to it, please.

Does this problem still exist with media-gfx/gimp-2.3.9? It doesn't install a symlink, but a real file.

It's OK now. Works as it is supposed to.
