Hi,

Yesterday I reviewed a package notion, which is a new window
manager(new to fedorian), it installs desktop file to
/usr/share/xsession.

Interesting, when I looking into more "window manager" in Fedora, I found that:

openbox installs desktop file to /usr/share/xsessions
pekwm installs desktop file to /usr/share/xsessions
dwm installs desktop file to /usr/share/xsessions
ratpoison installs desktop file to /usr/share/xsessions
fvwm installs desktop file to /usr/share/xsessions
sawfish installs desktop file to /usr/share/xsessions
icwm installs desktop file to /usr/share/xsessions
enlightenment installs desktop file to /usr/share/xsessions
awesome installs desktop file to /usr/share/xsessions

-------------
fluxbox installs desktop file to /usr/share/applications
xmonad installs desktop file to /usr/share/applications
i3 installs desktop file to /usr/share/applications
mutter installs desktop file to /usr/share/applications
byobu installs desktop file to /usr/share/applications


So I think that maybe  these have been doing wrong for years? Should I
file RFE for these?

Thanks.

Hi Christopher,

I fail to see what is the wrong location in your opinion. Do you think that a window manager should install its desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions or in /usr/share/applications?

All the best,
Germán.
