Bug#459252: lintian: desktop-entry-lacks-main-category for autostart programs

[Josselin Mouette <joss@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.41
Severity: normal

Hi,

currently lintian reports a desktop-entry-lacks-main-category error even 
for desktop files in /usr/share/gnome/autostart. However these are 
special desktop files which are meant to tell the session manager to 
start the program automatically, and they don’t appear in the menu.

Maybe the desktop validation should be done only for files in 
/usr/share/applications.

Cheers,
