new test made with liferea. I have drag and drop the icon from the window's border into the ibar. A new .desktop file has been created in ~/.local/sare/applications. Now I have 2 files! /usr/share/applications/liferea.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/liferea-bin.desktop
Maybe the window was not "link" to a valid .desktop, that's why the ibar has created a new one. See, the both files name are different. The systeam file use the binarie "liferea" and the local use "liferea-bin". 2009/8/31 Atton Jonathan <jonathan.at...@gmail.com> > Some times ago I had this problem : the .desktop file was copied in > ~/.local/application.
