Menu entry and loki installer

[Bjorn Andersen]

Hi

Does anybody know whats changed in the Gnome-Menu in fedora core 1?
In redhat 9 the Loki installer could create a menu entry in the games
menu. 

The Loki installer makes this file:

/etc/X11/applnk/Games/et.desktop

It looks like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=enemy-territory
Comment=
Exec=/usr/local/games/enemy-territory/et
Icon=/usr/local/games/enemy-territory/ET.xpm
Terminal=0
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Games;X-Red-Hat-Base;





In Fedora test 2 the entry was not created, but could be corrected by
deleting the line:


Categories=Application;Games;X-Red-Hat-Base;

and the icon shows properly in the Games menu in the Gnome-start menu.


In Fedora Core 1 nothing works. It doesent help to delete the line in 
/etc/X11/applnk/Games/et.desktop

What have been changed in Fedora and in the Gnome menu? Is it a bug, or with purpose?



Btw, it is a problem in a lot of games using the loki installer...

Yes, as far as I've experienced, the fedora core 1 gnome setup is very 
friendly with adding and filing icons in the menus.

In Enemy Teritory from ID Software and Americas Army from
http://www.americasarmy.com/ does the gnome menu not work. In RHL 9 it
works as normal, with an entry in the menu.
