Version: (using KDE KDE 3.97.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc-4.1.2 OS: Linux I am having .desktop files that have a "." dot in their filename in the "/usr/share/applications/" directory. If I try to start such an application kicker does not start the application but instead brings up the editor "KWrite" with that file opened. Example: I have a file "/usr/share/applications/mozilla-firefox-2.0.desktop". A menu item for firefox is shown but when I try to start firefox from the menu KWrite is coming up showing the file "/usr/share/applications/mozilla-firefox-2.0.desktop". Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a .desktop file in your applications directory that contains a "." (before the .desktop ending). You can just rename one of your existing ones. 2. Try to start the application via the kicker menu. 3. The editor KWrite should pop up. Expected behaviour: The application should be lauched instead of the editor.
Are you using KDE 3 or KDE 4? Because your version says "kde4", while kicker is kde3-only...
I am using kde 3.97 which I think is the KDE4 RC2. So maybe it is not kicker if this kde-3 only. Is it called differently? What I mean is the kde menu that comes up when I click on the "K" icon in the lower left corner of the taskbar of the kde4 desktop.
