It's an internal implementation detail. I agree it shouldn't be in /usr/bin, so we can use this bug to track moving it to /usr/share/. > - For example, trying to add a new screensaver-type by hand does not work when you put a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications /screensavers/. In fact, *deleting* a .desktop file there does not remove the screensaver from the screensaver settings menu! This is not supported. Please use /usr/local/applications or ~/.local/applications for custom .desktop files. /usr is for distro packages, /usr/local and /home for user customizations. > - a cache file should not reside in /usr/share/applications/ Indeed it might be nicer in /var/cache; it makes the lookups less efficient, but it should be bearable. This could become a separate wishlist bug. > - *if* you cache files, you should make sure the cached file will be rebuilt. That's already done via dpkg triggers. ** Summary changed: - wrong /usr/share/applications/desktop.$locale.cache files + Do not put update-gnome-menus-cache into $PATH ** Changed in: gnome-menus (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- Do not put update-gnome-menus-cache into $PATH https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/540813 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-menus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
