I found that package "openoffice.org" contains some files in "/usr/share/gnome/apps/net", while they should definitely belong to "/usr/share/gnome/apps/Applications", at least for the "not utilites" ones (i.e. spadmin). I suggest to give them the name of the script used to launch them, instead of their current one (ex: use "/usr/share/gnome/apps/Applications/oowriter.desktop" instead of "/usr/share/gnome/apps/net/textdoc.desktop".

It seems this has never been taken into account.
Please do so or explain why.


Because no-one has submitted a usuable patch implementing this.  Jan did
some work on the patch which should have improved things for 1.0.3 to some
extent.
Ok, I'm willing to do so, but will not have time before 2-3 days.
Those files are automatically generated at build-time, aren't they?

Moreover, if I take a look at the "textdoc.desktop" file I can see some major flaws in it (I may be wrong):
- "MimeType=xxxx xxxxx" should be separated by ";" and not spaces

It is still not fixed in 1.0.3.


Dito.  Patch please.


- I don't understand or see any other lines "Version=xxx" in *any* other package

What are they for?
Version number has not changed between 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 (still 0.92) but the file itself has changed (see below).
No explanation?
No reason?

- there should be a line "Categories=Application;Office;xxxxxxx" at the end, where "xxxxxxx" should be any of "WordProcessor", "Presentation", "Spreadsheet", ...

This one has not been taken into account either.


Dito.

If you are not prepared to work on patches, be prepared to wait for someone
who is.
It's not about having to be prepared to submit patches or not, but to have no answer at all submitting bug reports...
