Format of Maemo .desktop files
Here are the field supported in hildon-desktop (Chinook):
- Type
- Should be application
- Icon
- Name
- Categories
- not used on maemo, but used in Ubuntu mobile
- Comment
- now unused, was used as second line of text in the startup menu in
Bora
- Exec
- NoDisplay
- set to true to hide the entry in the menu
- StartupNotify
- set to false to disable the startup notification banner
- StartupWMClass
- used to override the expected window class name, default to the
binary name
and some extensions, maemo-specific:
- X-Text-Domain
- set the L10n domain from which the application name is
translated (with dgettext)
- X-Osso-Service
- a DBus service name - if specified hildon desktop will try to
call the top_application method on this service rather than execute what is listed in the Exec field).
