Hi, my pre-reviewer [1] noted that I didn't run desktop-file-install on a .desktop file I am installing. However, the app isn't actually a gui app, therefore the must rule doesn't apply.
What the .desktop file does achieve is adding an "extract tnef archive" menu item to files where the mime-type matches tnef. The unwanted sideeffect of doing this is that gnome places an icon for the program into the Application menu. This icon is useless; it runs a script to run the app, without an input parameter, and hence does nothing (well, that 'nothing' might need to be double checked).
Is it acceptable to add a desktop file to achieve this ? Is there someway to indicate to the desktop program that the menu entry shouldn't be shown ? Does using desktop-file-x any use on .desktop files that aren't intended to become part of the menus ?
