Hi Florian,
First of all thanks for replying. I will try to explain the
situation clearly.
You would have noticed that while installing RPMs like adobe
reader after the processing is complete he puts a shortcut on the
desktop and also one entry in Applications->Office. Looking at some of
the spec files I have found out that it is possible to duplicate the
same by placing a /*.desktop/ file on to //usr/share/applications
/folder. But it is not working for me. Also i had already figured out
that putting the file on to the desktop will end up in root's desktop.
Thats why i was looking for other alternatives. The only possible way
i can figure out is to place the /*.desktop /file on to some directory
which is used for such purposes. But //usr/share/applications/ /is
failing in my case.
If you can provide me with some inputs it will be great. I think I
have explained the situation vividly.
While I am not an expert in packaging desktop applications the few
packages I looked at call "update-desktop-database
%{_datadir}/applications" in their %post and %postun sections. May be
this is sufficient to make your short cut show up.
Florian
