Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.20.3-3
Severity: normal
I'm using Gnome as my main desktop, but I have a few kde applications
installed (notably Amarok and Konqueror). Those two end up nicelyin
the gnome menu in Audio and Internet, respectively, but the kde apps
pull in kdebase and kcontrol and such. This causes a "Other" menu to
appear in the gnome menu, which contains 90 (or so) individual kde
setting items, which useless names such as "CGI", "Behaviour",
"Cache", "Protocols", etc.
This seems to be caused by a weird handling or the desktop files in
/usr/share/applications/kde. Those have a "Categories" line that
reads "Categories=Qt;KDE;X-KDE-information;" or
"Categories=Qt;KDE;X-KDE-settings-hardware;", which Gnome apparently
doesn't understand.
Would it be possible to either filter out thosekde settings (they are
available from the setup menus in the individual KDE applications you
use anyway), or move them to a proper hierarchy (maybe onder
System/Preferences even)?
