Re: [Fwd: Bug#296258: freemind: Integration into GNOME/KDE]

[Eric Lavarde <Eric.Lavarde@bawue.de>]

Hi,

thanks again.

One question though: from the man page, dh_desktop takes only care of
update-desktop-database, not of update-mime-database!?

Any other idea?

Eric

PS: I know it's not a big deal to add the commands myself, it's just a 
question of principle: if everybody puts its little fixes, it doesn't go 
forward.
