Hello

The synaptic package manager comes with two .desktop files:

/usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop

/usr/share/applications/synaptic-kde.desktop

The first one contains:

NotShowIn=KDE;

The second one:

OnlyShowIn=KDE;

Calling synaptic in the application menu calls the first one (the two program names/menu entries are identical). A broken root password entry box appears - the path of the executable which should be called with root privileges is empty.

I'm wondering if the NotShowIn/OnlyShowIn directives are the cause of the problem. I've experimented in adding "Trinity;" to "KDE;", but without success.

Does anyone know what this means?

Thanks,

Volker
