"Do KDE developers, like Apple developers, presume that everyone already knows? " Sounds like a blanket statement about intentions to me. Stick to facts then, please, if you don't want a reaction. > *Why* do I get so much more info about Gnome apps than KDE ones, > *who* could change that, and *where* can I make the request and expect it > to be on topic? OK, simply put: on gnome you get more info about gnome apps. On kde, you get more info about kde apps. >> It goes both ways.

Why are you throwing > it at me? What does it have to do with the issue? Gnome shows Comment= keys on hover, KDE shows GenericName entries in the menus. Gnome ignores and doesn't use GenericName anywhere. KDE doesn't use Commment= keys (for the most part). Does that help? Now, imo, KDE at least embraces the desktop-spec here, and I'll take any bugs wrt missing Comment= keys in .desktop files, and help fix it. I've been virtually begging fedora/gnome developers to do the same for supporting GenericName= keys for quite awhile, with little success to date. -- Rex -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
