Description Stanislav Brabec 2007-07-12 09:09:43 UTC

Current desktop specification does not allow "OnlyShowIn=X-MyDesktopSystem". It complicates writing of new desktop systems, because authors must first change specification to add their desktop to "approved" list.

I propose to add following sentence to specification of OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn.

Categories not in this document must be prefixed by the string "X-" indicating that they are extensions. Categories are case-sensitive.

Yep, we'll do this. I'll commit the change once I get a few minutes to handle this. (It's in the menu spec, IIRC).

Fixed in HEAD.
