Description Mark Van De Vyver 2007-06-05 13:52:00 UTC

It appears that the script/function/utility that prepends:

#SUSE-Overwrite....

to the translation entries in *.desktop files under:

/opt/kde3/share/apps/*

and

/opt/kde3/share/services/*

is incomplete. Specifically many entries are not commented out, and some whole files are omitted.

The cause of this may(?) be related to the fact that some 'app' files had "Type=Service" - see bug #280901. Or it may be caused by something else?

I _suspect_ that the presences of 'special characters' is causing Xsession errors like the following:

MNG error 11: Function is invalid at this point; chunk vpAg; subcode 0:0
MNG error 4: Encountered unexpected end-of-file; chunk vpAg; subcode 0:0
MNG error 11: Function is invalid at this point; chunk vpAg; subcode 0:0
MNG error 11: Function is invalid at this point; chunk vpAg; subcode 0:0

and possibly also

X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
Major opcode: 20
Minor opcode: 0
Resource id: 0x1800007
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3

Xlib: extension "MIT-SCREEN-SAVER" missing on display "unix:1004.0".
Xlib: extension "MIT-SCREEN-SAVER" missing on display "unix:1004.0".

I attach an example desktop file, and the session log from a connection instigated from FreeNX.

This bug report arose as a result of working on bug #280901, which arose in the course of bug #280787.

Or they may all be totally independent?

desktop file translations have nothing to do with MNG errors, no. And the file is untranslated - but that's it. I don't understand the issue you have with it.

Comment 4 Mark Van De Vyver 2007-06-11 22:27:36 UTC

My issue was it seemed the '#SUSE-Overwrite' was not being properly inserted.  
I assumed these comments were inserted for very good reason, so expected there must be some side effect to their absence.... Apparently not, or at least not any side effect related to the behavior I'm seeing.  

I have a script that inserts these comments where they are missing - it sounds like running this is pointless - correct?

The hunt for an explanation continues.... issue is closed then.
 Thanks
