Well, I investigate issue and it is correct, that it should not contain this type. From me the best solution is to remove line with type from all desktop entries which define only group. And let type=application only for real modules.

According to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470482#c3 Supplying Exec=/some/bin/ary (even if dummy one) parameter makes the message go away, but removing Type=Application line does not.

I think just adding Exec=/bin/true will fix the reported problem. If there are other problems later, hopefully we will discover a more meaningful solution though them. -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu

I've checked the issue and it was an issue in SLE 11 SP2 (all groups) and openSUSE 11/12 (only two group desktop files). I've changed all the desktop files to contain Exec=/sbin/yast2 which is, IMO, better than a dummy /bin/true. The rest of the desktop files bugs is still not fixed yet. - -- Lukas Ocilka, Appliances Department, SUSE LINUX s.r.o.

Hi,

According to comments, YaST Group Desktop files cause many .xsession-errors because:
* They contain Type="Application" * They (of course) do not contain any Exec=/some/binary
There are two proposed solutions:
* Add fake Exec=... line * Move the desktop files out of /usr/share/applications
I don't like any of the proposed solutions much, so I'm asking *you* whether we have another option or what do you think of the proposed ones?
And today we received bug #681249 which requests to remove the "X-KDE-RootOnly=true" lines, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681249. All in all these desktop files seem more complicated than one would expect. Who here has enough knowledge to find a complete solution? ciao Arvin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
