I am unable to work out at all, except to say that my frozen-bubble entry is named similarly (ie frozen-bubble-frozen-bubble.desktop) and is also created by make_desktop_entry 2. seems to arise from this in /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass [snip] DESCRIPTION="Based on the ${ECLASS} eclass" [snip] echo "[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=0.9.2 Name=${name} Type=Application Comment=${DESCRIPTION} Exec=${exec} Path=${path} Icon=${icon} Categories=Application;${type};" > "${desktop}" I would have thought perhaps that DESCRIPTION would have been the same as the line in the ebuild. DESCRIPTION="Lost Labyrinth, a rogue like game" is this a bug? The line in my ebuild is: make_desktop_entry laby "Lost Labyrinth" ${PN}.xpm "Game;RolePlaying;" Thanks for any suggestions. this line appears in /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/eclass/eutils.eclass,v 1.194 2005/08/09 22:40:39 vapier Exp $ -- Nick Rout -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
