Sheesh. Are there other rpms that install applications that won't do anything useful without doing something else first? I can't think of any I've run across, either ever, or a very long time. Would/should installation have set this up as a cron job?
It did install a cron job, that runs once a day. Either you wait a day, or run it yourself now. It typically takes a few minutes to do its job.
Anyway, that lead to of all the inexplicable things 11.4's /sbin/conf.d/ (which 13.1 does not have) to find the SuSEconfig utils, among which is SuSEconfig.desktop-file-utils. That does little but figure out the caller, then run /usr/bin/update-desktop-database, which comes from freedesktop.org's desktop-file-utils package.
Ah, then you did find the script. You just have to inspect it to find what it does...
So, I seem to have accomplished nothing regarding migrating .desktop files between users. What else/instead needs doing?
I don't know. That's something I do not know much about. On occasion, I edit a faulty system desktop file, and things adapt automatically, somehow. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
