Version:           1.5.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

When browsing the Applications->Office in GNOME 2.14, sometimes tooltips show you information about the program. However, there are errors preventing the proper display with some KDE programs.

Fixed according to suggestion in 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2006-04-06 14:37:26 UTC

You have a point that koffice's .desktop files should have
some form of Comment.  I don't think Comment should take over what is
currently used for GenericName, however.  Note the "should not be
redundant" part of:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s04.html
which says:
GenericName: Generic name of the application, for example "Web Browser".
Comment: Tooltip for the entry, for example "View sites on the
Internet", should not be redundant with Name or GenericName.

Comment 3 Andrew Ziem 2006-04-06 15:14:04 UTC

Rex: Yes, for my suggestions I tried to follow the pattern at freedesktop.org where GenericName is noun-oriented (a "what") and Comment is verb oriented (a "do").

Comment 4 Thiago Macieira 2006-04-08 11:21:36 UTC

Missing Comment is not a bug.

Comment 5 Halla Rempt 2006-04-13 22:42:59 UTC

I added them for Krita anyways.
