Description Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-07-09 10:20:10 UTC
in eclass/eutils.eclass we have:

make_desktop_entry() {
	...
	insinto /usr/share/applications
	doins ${desktop}
	...
	insinto /usr/share/applnk/${subdir}
	doins ${desktop}
	...
}

I propose to comment out the part that refers to /usr/share/applnk,
since in recent KDE's the .desktop files are correctly read also from
/usr/share/applications (as per freedesktop.org specification),
and otherwise this would result in KDE in duplicate menu entries.
