I feel this change is unnecessary because gvim is not installed by default and so long as its desktop item is only installed when gvim is there is no harm. Additionally, in the current state, upon installing gvim using Add/Remove you will be told to look for a menu item that won't exist (see <a href="http://launchpadlibrarian.net/7332788/post-gnome-vim-install.png">http://launchpadlibrarian.net/7332788/post-gnome-vim-install.png</a> for a screenshot of this). Given that the bug has been opened and closed several times I'm posting here to see whether it is an issue that should be fixed.</blockquote><div> After reading through the bug comments, it seems that it is intentional that it doesn't show. That is a default that someone decided should be there. I wonder if it would be possible to have a checkbox during install that would allow the menu icon to be show... Steal a page out of the typically windows program installations. Maybe that is something that would be a nice option in general for applications that are installed? ( i.e. to show shortcut in the menu, quick launch, and/or show shortcut on the desktop) The question would be where would something like that be implemented? When installing with apt, the ncurses post installation could come up, the gui installers might be able to add that option easy enough...Both of which require the packages to support it though. Maybe it is something that people wouldn't want in general, but most people users coming from a windows environment, after installing a program either look in the "start menu", quick launch, and/or on the desktop. Maybe something is already in the works upstream? (i.e Gnome/KDE) </div> Cheers, Todd <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> -- Sitsofe | <a href="http://sucs.org/~sits/">http://sucs.org/~sits/</a> -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com </a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss</a> </blockquote></div>
