Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev

2008-09-04 15:12:27 UTC

desktop-file-validate reports the following problems:
cups.desktop: warning: value "Application;System;X-Red-Hat-Base;" for key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" contains a deprecated value "Application"
cups.desktop: warning: key "Encoding" in group "Desktop Entry" is deprecated
cups.desktop: warning: value "" for key "Path" in group "Desktop Entry" does not look like an absolute path
cups.desktop: warning: key "TerminalOptions" in group "Desktop Entry" is deprecated

Path set to "" is an important issue as it prevent launch desktop entry from Desktop (with nautilus-2.22)

The attached patch fixes all this, and I have reported the same to upstream:

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for taking this upstream Pacho, I've just commited -r2 which applies the patch and also bumped cups for 1.3.9.
