Description Jeremy Messenger 2005-03-25 21:07:38 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The KDELegacyDirs and LegacyDirs need to be remove from the settings.menu. Recently, when 
the gnome-menus 2.10.1 has fixed the LegacyDirs stuff correct and the result is that it will display 
two same stuff in 'Applications' and 'Desktop' menu from a .desktop. Because of applications.menu 
and settings.menu have the KDELegacyDirs and LegacyDirs.


Steps to reproduce:
1. a .desktop without 'Cateogory' entry and living in either KDELegacyDirs or LegacyDirs.
2. restart gnome-panel and it will appearing same info in the 'Applications' and 'Desktop' menu.


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
Remove the KDELegacyDirs or LegacyDirs from settings.menu to solve this problem to get .desktop 
only appear in the 'Applications' menu.

No, the <KDELegacyDirs> and <LegacyDir> entries do make sense - we do want to
pick up legacy .desktop files.

The only way to avoid these duplicates is at the distribution/packaging level.
Make sure packages aren't installing duplicate entries, remove .desktop files
that you don't want to appear in the menus etc.
