[That's freedom - sometimes confusing! Viewed theoretically, it stays
so. Practically, ...:]
u/sh/applnk - a KDE menu entry
u/sh/applications - a KDE application entry ;-)
u/sh/gnome - gnome only?
u/share/.../mime - a mime type
u/X11R6/share/applnk/Network/Mail/<name>.desktop - i don't think this
will be found by many programs on a Debian system.
Seems, that nobody knows exactly? There was some discussion of the files
and locations used by KDE in its HelpCenter - saw it just before
upgrading, now it seems gone and i didn't find anything but on
freedesktop.org - uhm, interesting but not too related ;-)
May be, http://www.kde.org/areas/sysadmin can help?
Have a nice day, martin
