Description Jekyll Wu 2012-06-17 03:09:16 UTC

$ desktop-file-validate /usr/share/applications/mlterm-mlterm.desktop

/usr/share/applications/mlterm-mlterm.desktop: error: (will be fatal in the future): value "TerminalEmulator" in key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" requires another category to be present among the following categories: System
/usr/share/applications/mlterm-mlterm.desktop: error: (will be fatal in the future): value "TerminalEmulator;" for key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" does not contain a registered main category

This is because urxvt-rxvt-unicode.desktop contains this line: 

   Categories=TerminalEmulator;

That line has two problems: 

1. it does not contain any main category. So it would be shown in the "Lost & Found" menu under KDE
2. FDO suggests[1] adding the "System" category when the "TerminalEmulator" additional category is used.

To fix it, just change that line to :

   Categories=System;TerminalEmulator;
