This means we can kill all the patches that just change desktop files to use GenericName instead of Comment. Yay!

Hi,

Starting a new thread with a clear title so everybody reads it :-)

I've updated the desktop menu part of the package conventions [1] to fix some errors. See [2] for the discussion.

Here's the detail of the changes:

+ GenericName is not the key used for the tooltip. It's the Comment key. Fixed the examples accordingly.

+ Make the examples valid .desktop files. Also use StartupNotify and StartupWMClass instead of old KDE-specific keys.

+ the Encoding key is deprecated, so I removed any mention of it.

+ Fix the description of the Icon key. The value can be an absolute path. Also link to the icon theme specification to explain where icons should be installed.

Thanks,

Vincent
