Description Bastien Nocera 2007-08-21 15:14:01 UTC 
This was causing Totem not to load a plugin automatically, because the value in the file was "Builtin=True", not "Builtin=true".

Patch attached.

so far gkeyfile has been pretty strict about following the letter of the desktop entry spec, and the spec says:

Values of type boolean must either be the string true or false.

I'll file a patch to mention the case-sensitiveness in the doc then.

        * glib/tmpl/keyfile.sgml: Mention the difference
        in handling booleans between GKeyFile and .INI files
        (Closes: #468882)
