What is the magic spell to get an application to show up on gnome's menu?
I've gone by an example on the internet and came up with this:
[Desktop Entry]
I do not mean that it craps out.
It just does not show.
Not if I restart gnome.
Not even if I reboot.
You don't need to do either of those. Gnome automatically detects changes.
The most likely issue is that the .sh file either doesn't exist or isn't
executable. That desktop file works for me with an adjusted Exec line. I
don't have Application menus, so I don't know where it would show up in that
case.
his version of /usr/share/applications/wtf.desktop
passes desktop-file-validate without even a warning:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
# Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Tomato
Comment=Not an orange
Icon=org.gnome.Terminal
Exec=/home/hennebry/bin/alarm.sh
# Terminal=true
Categories=Utility;
/home/hennebry/bin/alarm.sh
is executable.
Where in the menuing system did your version show up?
