Hi,

GNOME and KDE have their own integrated file managers, so I think thunar
should not show up in those DEs by default. Please consider adding
OnlyShowIn=XFCE; to
/usr/share/applications/Thunar-bulk-rename.desktop
/usr/share/applications/Thunar.desktop
or alternatively NotShowIn=KDE;GNOME;

Thanks,
Michael

Please add
/usr/share/applications/thunar-settings.desktop
to that list.

Some people disagree:

* http://bugs.debian.org/673360

To be honest, I don't really care, I just think the current situation is
suboptimal for everyone, and people just have to get used to it until
someone comes with a solution which everyone like.

You should still be able to override what's provided (wether manually
by copying the desktop file to .local/share/applications and editing it,
or through some graphical app like alacarte).

Hi there!

Fully agree, but...

...I have to configure xfce4-power-manager to be shown in the LXDE
preferences *system-wide*, not for each of the ~20 users that *could*
log in a machine (LDAP users here!).  Which means that adding files at
login is a no-op, as well as menu editing after login.

Modifications to /etc/xdg/autostart/xfce4-power-manager.desktop will
be preserved on upgrades, but it is a bit strange to tell people to
configure an application to be started at login and then logoff/login
to have it started for the first time...

AFAIK, there is no good power manager for LXDE and most of the time
the advice I have found on the net is to use XFCE's one (as for other
LXDE components).  For this reason, IMHO the submitter's suggestion is
a different beast that #673360 or #673363.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
