Hello
The synaptic package manager comes with two .desktop files:
/usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop
/usr/share/applications/synaptic-kde.desktop
The first one contains:
NotShowIn=KDE;
The second one:
OnlyShowIn=KDE;
Calling synaptic in the application menu calls the first one (the two
program names/menu entries are identical). A broken root password entry box
appears - the path of the executable which should be called with root
privileges is empty.
I'm wondering if the NotShowIn/OnlyShowIn directives are the cause of the
problem. I've experimented in adding "Trinity;" to "KDE;", but
without
success.
Does anyone know what this means?
That just tells the XDG menu system (your menus) where to show the
corresponding desktop entries.
We use "KDE", not "Trinity" at the moment.
