From: markskilbeck <at> gmail.com To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 24.2; Installing GNOME .desktop file to incorrect location Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2012 08:49:37 +0000
When compiling and installing Emacs, the GNOME .desktop file is installed to /usr/local/share/applications; however, according to the documentation[1], the correct locations are: /usr/share/applications and ~/.local/share/applications. As such, GNOME[-shell] does not allow opening Emacs through means other than using $PATH. -- mgsk In GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.2) of 2012-11-18 on earth Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.11103000 Configured using: `configure '--with-x-toolkit=gtk3'' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: en_GB.UTF-8 value of $XMODIFIERS: nil locale-coding-system: utf-8-unix default enable-multibyte-characters: t Major mode: Fundamental Minor modes in effect: yas/global-mode: t show-paren-mode: t shell-dirtrack-mode: t tooltip-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t blink-cursor-mode: t auto-composition-mode: t auto-encryption-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t column-number-mode: t line-number-mode: t transient-mark-mode: t Recent input: M-x r e p o r t <tab> <return> Recent messages: Loading em-hist...done Loading em-ls...done Loading em-prompt...done Loading em-script...done Loading em-term...done Loading em-unix...done Loading /home/mgsk/.emacs.d/config-eshell.el (source)...done Loading /home/mgsk/.emacs.d/config-package.el (source)...done Loading /home/mgsk/.emacs.d/config-css.el (source)...done For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
