gnome-shell-extensions-3.8.3.1: applications menu shows all apps under "Others" section
Last modified: 2013-08-26 14:18:16 UTC
Not sure why but "Others" section in applications menu (Classic mode) is showing again all applications that are also shown in their proper sections. This is on Gentoo but: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/81668/why-do-all-applications-go-to-the-others-app-folder-in-gnome-shell-3-8 shows also Fedora looks to be affected Thanks!
This is a gnome-menus bug, reassigning.
Created attachment 253140 [details] [review] layout: don't use OnlyUnallocated for sections different than Other We used to have OnlyUnallocated on all non-folder sections, as a quick way to enforce the whitelist, but that broke the Other section. Instead, we need a whitelist in the two folders, and a blacklist in each category the application would normally be in (accessories or system tools usually). Ideally, apps in the Utilities category would expose the special X-GNOME-Utilities desktop category, which we now recognize, but the whitelist is kept to avoid patching all of them. For the sundry category, ideally it should not be there at all. In the process, a number of .desktop files were removed, as they're not provided by any packages (checked jhbuild and Fedora 19). They are: * caribou * fedora-im-chooser * fedora-abrt * gnome-orca * gnome-user-share-properties * ibus * ibus-daemon Distributions that are changing .desktop file names should take care of patching gnome-menus appropriately.
Review of attachment 253140 [details] [review]: OK.
This will need a backport too, but it would be good if the backport was done by distro people, crosschecking with the right package versions. Attachment 253140 [details] pushed as 6e7790b - layout: don't use OnlyUnallocated for sections different than Other
