Within Gnome 2.10, the entry & icon for XMMS does not appear under Applications -> Sound & Video as it should. Switching 'Encoding=Legacy-Mixed' to 'Encoding=UTF-8' within /usr/share/applications/xmms.desktop caused the entry to appear, sans icon. Changing 'Icon=mini/xmms_mini.xpm' to its full path of 'Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/mini/xmms_mini.xpm' caused the icon to appear, as well. I don't know what this would do on a non UTF-8 machine. Possibly the bug doesn't exist on them anyways. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xmms 2. start gnome 3. frantically search for nonexistant icon Actual Results: search failed, no xmms icon :( Expected Results: added/created a functonal xmms.desktop file Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r1, 2.6.12-morph7 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-morph7 i686 Mobile Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.20GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.11 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distcc distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X a52 aac aalib acpi aim alsa arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts browserplugin bzip2 cd cdr crypt css cups curl dbus divx4linux dv dvd dvdread eds emboss encode esd fam fame firefox flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gimpprint gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal imagemagick imlib ipv6 java javascript jikes jpeg ldap libcaca libg++ libwww mad mikmod mjpeg mmx mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nsplugin offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcmcia pdflib perl pic png posix python quicktime readline sdl spell sse sse2 ssl svga tcltk tcpd theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb vorbis win32codecs xine xml2 xmms xv xvid xvmc zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS 'emerge -pv xmms': [ebuild R ] media-sound/xmms-1.2.10-r15 -3dnow +alsa +arts -directfb +esd +flac -jack -lirc +mad +mikmod +mmx +mp3 +nls +oss -sndfile +vorbis 0 kB
Created attachment 65739 [details, diff] changes to xmms.desktop which fix bug on my system dunno what behavior this will cause on a non-UTF8 system, dunno if this will/would work for anyone else besides me :)
Note that desktop-file-validate reports other errors too.
Created attachment 69546 [details, diff] cleanups to make desktop-file-validate happier makes icon appear in gnome menus, cleans up errors reported by desktop-file-validate. these remain on my system: llucas@clemens ~ $ desktop-file-validate /usr/share/applications/xmms.desktop.ne w /usr/share/applications/xmms.desktop.new: error: value for key "Comment[ca]" con tains invalid UTF-8 characters, even though the encoding is UTF-8 /usr/share/applications/xmms.desktop.new: error: value for key "Comment[cs]" con tains invalid UTF-8 characters, even though the encoding is UTF-8 /usr/share/applications/xmms.desktop.new: error: value for key "Comment[th]" con tains invalid UTF-8 characters, even though the encoding is UTF-8 /usr/share/applications/xmms.desktop.new: error: value for key "Comment[zh_TW]" contains invalid UTF-8 characters, even though the encoding is UTF-8
fixed in cvs.
