So, it doesn't surprise me that KDE implements more than the spec. But I haven't used KDE3 much, so I don't know if it's still the way it was last time I touched KDE, which was in the Debian 2.2/3.0 days... Or maybe the Desktop Entry spec is based on the minimal ground seen between both KDE and GNOME, in which case, it's sad that it hasn't improved since that point... William
