I notice files installed in my additional TDEDIRS directory are being ignored. Would
somebody else confirm this behavior?
My additional directory is placed first in the TDEDIRS variable string:
TDEDIR=/opt/trinity
TDEDIRS=/usr/local/tde-mods:/opt/trinity
I noticed this behavior a while ago because various mimetypes were not working as I
reconfigured. Yesterday investigated further. I have Xfce installed on this system. I
seldom use Xfce and even then only for comparative purposes. Yet yesterday, having
"Mousepad" in my Konqueror popup menu for text editors finally rankled me. I
copied the desktop file from /usr/share/applications to
/usr/local/tde-mods/share/applications.
In the mousepad.desktop file I added OnlyShowIn=XFCE;. I restarted the session and
Mousepad remained in the popup menu.
Curious, I edited the desktop file in /usr/share/applications, restarted the session, and
Mousepad no longer populated the popup menu.
Therefore TDE is recognizing the OnlyShowIn directive, but not those in my secondary
TDEDIRS directory.
Seems something is awry with using TDEDIRS. At this point I don't know whether the
problem is me or the code.
This same process works as expected in my KDE3 setup, (albeit using KDEDIRS).
I appreciate further insight and help.

Additional evidence of incorrect behavior is items appearing in the system menu that are
tagged with OnlyShowIn=XFCE;.
After some more testing, in my TDEDIRS directory I have many mimelnk desktop files to
override the defaults. They are being adhered to and being used. For example. with TDEDIRS
not being set, archived files will open directly in Konqueror as embedded files. With
TDEDIRS being set and my TDEDIRS ark.desktop file overriding that behavior, an archived
file opens in Ark rather than as embedded.
Therefore Trinity is using TDEDIRS. The problem then seems to be not always recognizing
the OnlyShowIn key. Or not using that key correctly. Trinity recognized the change I made
to the mousepad.desktop file in /usr/applications. Possibly then Trinity just does not
recognize that key when in TDEDIRS?
I am deleting my ksycoca cache with these tests. So that is not the problem. :)
