Hi,
I have an odd problem with
xfce4-appfinder when I want to run some KDE applications, using the application chooser window (e.g. the one that allows you to select the application using the
categories on the left and
items on the right side). For example, I'm able to run
kate but not
kcalc nor
ktouch.
For the test, I've started the
xfce4-appfinder from console and I've noticed the following when trying to run the
kcalc:
Code:
kcalc: '<caption>' missing.
Further investigation showed that the *.desktop file for the
kate has the following:
and the *.desktop file for
kcalc has the following:
Code:
Exec=kcalc -caption %c
It seems like in the case of
kcalc the executable is run with the
-caption switch, but the caption string is empty and so the application complains and does not want to start.
On the other hand, when running the
kcalc *.desktop file using
xdg-open or
exo-open, that is:
Code:
exo-open /usr/share/applications/kde4/kcalc.desktop
the
kcalc starts without any problem.
Any ideas what might be happening?
