update-menus silently failing with Gnome?
I've been trying to create menu items for postbooks and
postbooks-updater, for example:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/postbooks-updater.git;a=blob;f=debian/menu;h=456d003f95312b27e3a1301057dd5b8dc3efca36;hb=86c8d75cc7297ba47b6398930c256d202011ab93
is a debian/menu file containing:
?package(postbooks-updater):needs="X11" \
section="Applications/Office" \
title="PostBooks Updater" \
command="postbooks-updater" \
icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/xTuple.xpm"
The file is installed to /usr/share/menu/postbooks-updater
The xpm file exists (it is installed by another package)
I can see that update-menus is run during the dpkg install and I tried
running it again manually.
I can even find the .desktop file for Gnome after update-menus has run,
it looks OK
However, the item just doesn't appear in the menu, even after logging
out and rebooting
I also tried looking in the menu editor to see if it was disabled, but
it is not there either
The update-menus -v output doesn't give any clues
Are there some extra steps required to make a working menu item? Could
they be added to http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu.html/
perhaps?
