The shipped desktop file gives the following problem for me:
# desktop-file-install --vendor gnome --add-category X-Red-Hat-Base --dir /var/tmp/root-distcc-2.11.1/usr/share/applications gnome/distccmon-gnome.desktop
Error on file "gnome/distccmon-gnome.desktop": Error in section Desktop
Entry at line 6: Invalid characters in key name
It seems that (at least my) desktop-file-install doesn't like key names
with a space in them (Generic Name).
Also, is there a reason why the .desktop file isn't installed in
$(datadir)/applications/ (and the icon in $(datadir)/pixmaps/) ?
My package is now doing that manually.
I would also change the .desktop file to the following:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Distcc Monitor
Comment=Graphical view of distributed compile tasks
Exec=distccmon-gnome
Icon=distccmon-gnome-icon.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;Application;Development;
StartupNotify=true
Unless some of the other key names offers functionality that I'm not aware
of. I'd like the menu-entries uppercase, as this is common practice for
Gnome.
My package is using the above .desktop file currently because of the
desktop-file-install problem.
Thanks in advance,
