Actually, with some delay I remembered something else that I wanted to
suggest you: in pixmaps/denemo.desktop, please
- remove the line "Encoding=UTF-8" (see [0])
- replace the line
Categories=GNOME;Application;AudioVideo;
with
Categories=GNOME;Audio;AudioVideo;Music;
(see [1])
[0]: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/1.0/apc.html
[1]: http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html
This will slightly further simplify my Debian packaging work (allowing
me to remove the last remaining patch).
thank you (but feel free to answer "just file a bug" if this is
something you don't feel of doing immediately)
