Hi,
A year ago, I developed an application menu system based on
freedesktop spec for Linux desktop system. Unfortunately, it did not
work in gnome, but works perfect on xfce and kde. I was not clear if
gnome is not compliant with freedesktop spec, or if gnome uses its own
desktop spec. Even today,
If a GNOME module implements published FreeDesktop specifications, such as
the desktop entry specification, or the menu specification, it should
always be specificiation-compliant. Of course, bugs in implementations are
always possible, and if you have issues with any of our implementations,
please
( Forgot to reply the list, sorry. )
To OP:
Can you show full Exec line you used?
AFAIK, in general, if you want to set environmental variables, you
should env command.
Regards,
Ma Xiaojun

I am not to set environment variable, but to use environment variable
in desktop entry file. Or did you mean you can set up env command in
desktop entry file?

Does that mean there is no chance to set Path to user home directory
in gnome, which is a very common setup?
How is the latest version GNOME 3.4 Release? Any chance to set up Path
to user home directo

As others have noted, the desktop-file spec doesn't have any special
handling for $ in keys. It could be arg

No, without setting the Path $HOME, the default path would be in the
application installation directory such as /usr/local.
