GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 354805
configuration support
Last modified: 2011-03-06 06:45:41 UTC
KDE uses a .desktop action to define how to setup a screensaver. We should probably do something similar so that we can hopefully standardize it. http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdeartwork/kscreensaver/kdesavers/KSlideshow.desktop?rev=557568&view=auto gnome-menus doesn't support actions yet from what I have seen.
For reference: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ Unfortunately, KDE seems to extend the format and doesn't always prefix with "X-" (eg. ServiceTypes=ScreenSaver).
Ok, that is mentioned in the spec: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/apb.html I'll leave discussion of standardization to another bug.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use. By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME. Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
