Slightly off topic, is there any consensus on how to detect current desktop environment? Previously a proposed environment variable XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP was mentioned on the ML, but there was no conclusion. Can we start a discussion on this issue again? It's very important for desktop-independent applications, such as web browsers. Sometimes applications designed for one DE may want to exert different behavior under another DE. So there must be an universal way to detect current desktop environment. Otherwise, all applications implementing desktop entry spec need to find their own ways for DE detection. This do creates much duplicated work and some inconsistent behavior. If you're not able to detect current DE, how can you apply OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn correctly? <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 12, 2012 at 6:56 PM, Vincent Untz <<a href="mailto:vuntz@gnome.org">vuntz@gnome.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Hi, MATE and Razor-qt people have requested two new registered values for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn: MATE [1] and RAZOR [2].
