            new here, please help me, if I do not post well.<br>
            <br>
            I like the desktop entry system very much. There is only one
            point, that drove me crazy, until i finally found that:<br>
            <br>
            If I use NoDisplay=true , then this .desktop-entry isn't
            shown when<br>
            right clicking a file in my file browser and choosing "open
            with an other<br>
            application".<br>
            <br>
            At<br>
            <a href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html" target="_blank">http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html</a><br>
            I find still the following information that conflicts with
            my experience:<br>
            <br>
            |NoDisplay| means "this application exists, but don't
            display it in the<br>
            menus". This can be useful to e.g. associate this
            application with MIME<br>
            types, so that it gets launched from a file manager (or
            other apps),<br>
            without having a menu entry for it (there are tons of good
            reasons for<br>
            this, including e.g. the |netscape -remote|, or |kfmclient
            openURL| kind<br>
            of stuff).<br>
            <br>
            I thought, "not display it in the menues" would mean only
            the standard application menues with the known submenues
            like "Settings", "Administration", "Graphics", "Internet",
            "Office" and so on - but would be shown when I right
            clicking a file in my file browser and coose "open with
            other application". But in my xfce this isn't the case. But
            it should be as the specs say.<br>
            I don't know, if KDE or Gnome does show the
            "NoDiplay=true"-Entries when right clicking in a file
            manager.<br>
            <br>
            I found two old threads in this mailing list about the
            interpretation of NoDisplay:<br>
            - <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2004-October/003423.html" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2004-October/003423.html</a><br>
            - <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2009-May/010396.html" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2009-May/010396.html</a><br>
            <br>
            But if I see right, those issues haven't found a clear
            solution yet.<br>
            <br>
            I'd like to suggest to give a hint in the specs: "At the
            moment, some software doesn't show desktop entries at all,
            so they can't be lunched from a file manager."<br>
            If software behaves exactly the opposite way as given in the
            specs, this is very confusing.<br>
            <br>
            Best regards,<br>
            <br>
            Christof<br>
