for my understanding I run same commands on a another F10 working
system (that has Adbobe Reader installed....
rpm -qf /usr/share/applications/gimp.desktop
gimp-2.6.0-2.fc10.i386
[antonio at acerF10 ~]$ rpm -V gimp
[antonio at acerF10 ~]$
 and then as root
[root at acerF10 antonio]# update-desktop-database
[root at acerF10 antonio]#

someone can explain why I has a broken symlink on one system and
everything is o.k. on another system??
I have to check whether on the affected system (where also scribus
menu is missing while on the other system is present under
Application/Other) the newly created users are affected from same
problem (i.e. missing scribus menu) and from the fact that I cannot
add the Trashbin applet to the application bar (and the Trashbin
applet is missing from the applet list when I ricght click on the bar
and I get add to the panel.
I am confused, so also my explanation may be confused... :-)
Any idea???
