hi,

/usr/share/gnome/apps is used by the new menu system, but the desktop
files need to respect the freedesktop specification now. What Categories
line are you using ? Could you send an example of a non-working desktop
file ?

The new system require valide desktop files, please point broken
applications so we can fix them.


You can read
