Please remove it (or replace it by NotShowIn, if that is more appropriate). With the upload of update-notifier 0.99.3debian1, this is now NotShowIn=KDE. Is this OK? Does it not work in KDE? It may work, but it depends on other GNOME/GTK+ stuff. I would expect a KDE user to prefer a KDE update notifier instead. And since this supposed to start automatically on login, it may conflict with a KDE update notifier. 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
