/usr/local/share/applications is for *.desktop files that appear in every user's menus. $HOME/.local/share/applications is for *.desktop files that appear only in that particular user's menus. Both have to have a flat structure (no further subdirectories). No per-group-ID *.desktop files are possible. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list xdg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
