Getting curious, I 'zypper se "System Tray"'ed and it came up with

» S | Name | Summary | Type --+-------------+---------+------------ i | System Tray | | application «

Wanting to know what this might be, I 'zypper info "System Tray"'ed, just to be told » package 'System Tray' not found. There would be 1 match for 'application:System Tray'. «

Ok, trying that ...

» $ zypper info "application:System Tray"

Information for application System Tray: ---------------------------------------- Info for type 'application' not implemented. «

Huh?

Searching in yast did not yield anything useful either.

So two questions: - What does zypper mean by this "application" type? - What is this "System Tray" application and how am I supposed to find out?

Regards mararm This is formed from the package's desktop and application data files and is part of a new system, appstream data from freedesktop.org: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Distributions/AppStream/ It is only partially supported by the installation system atm afaik. It helps you to find applications and also to associate files with those applications.
