What version of gedit? Do you see an entry labeled "Text Editor" in Applications->Accessories? Do you see an entry labeled "Text Editor" in the list of known applications when you run Applications->Run Application..? no the icon was nowhere to be found. I'm using gedit-2.10.3 However I tracked it down. When fiddling around, I found this utility called gnome-menu-spec-test which basicaly does the same thing as the menu panel but inside the console. Anyway I straced that app to see if gedit.desktop was actually open()ed at one point. It was, but I also found .desktop files inside ~/.local/share/applications/ and I had two entries for gedit for some unknown reason (at least to me) Here is the diff between the two files --- gedit.desktop 2004-12-31 16:36:55.000000000 +0100 +++ gedit1.desktop 2005-05-10 00:22:50.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=gedit -MimeType=application/x-extension-fpf; +MimeType=image/svg+xml; Exec=gedit Type=Application Terminal=false Now I don't know what happened but the latest gnome-menus or gnome-panel didn't like having those two files and gedit just didn't show up anymore... I just deleted all the files in that directory and everything's back to normal. However maybe it could be an idea to have a "reset menus to system defaults" if something goes wrong. There are .desktop files all over my ~/ even in places I didn't even know about. Thanks for your quick reply though :) If you have .destkop files under your home directory, they're your responsibility, and the ebuilds shouldn't touch them. Thanks for the information. |
