Bug#318368: gkdial: Missing Gnome2/Freedesktop menu entry
Package: gkdial
Version: 1:1.8.0-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
It would be nice if GK Dial had a Gnome2 menu entry, mostly for
aesthetics and a bit of convenience. I have prepared a desktop menu
file based on the Freedesktop Desktop Menu [1] and Entry [2]
Specifications, using the existing Gnome1 entry as a reference.
The file will need to be installed in /usr/share/applications/. The
entry is missing translations, but should be sufficient for the time
being. I hope it is useful.
