I think you might be overengineering this. The OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn keys are not a way to recommend one piece of software over another. They mean, this program does not possibly work reasonably in that environment. It is up to the user or the package management to install suitable combinations of software. But when they do install things, they should work. Although I'm currently not using KDE, I was actually once using that exact combination, because KDE did not provide a "native" update notifier. > It's the same as nm-applet which has NotShowIn=KDE > as well. Also broken, IMHO, for the same reason. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
