Description mathew 2008-08-01 22:14:46 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Went to start a terminal to check something out.

The start menu Applications tab has a Utilities entry which has an icon that looks very like the terminal icon. Specifically, it's an icon of a terminal with a prompt, but with a graph line in green superimposed.

This naturally led me to expect I'd find the terminal program in that category.

However, it isn't there, it's under System instead.

Either the Utilities icon should be changed, or Terminal should be available from the application menu that has an icon of a terminal, i.e. Utilities.

humm I think I need to fix this... the bug is valid..
Comment 3 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2011-09-23 14:07:13 UTC
Still valid ? Could not find an "utilities" submenu in applications tab.
I see a "tools" with a "gear" icon, which is ok. 
So marking as fixed. Feel free to re-open (and post screenshot) if it is not the case.

I think this is what the reporter means.

menu

My menu looks like this, using kde compiled from trunk on a Mageia 1 distribution.
I wonder if there are distribution-specific .desktop file in one or the other (or both) screenshots.

Cheers,

Hugo

Well, I think that possibility is low. I have arch/gentoo/debian-sid/fedora on my machine, and the 'Utilities' top-level entry is there and shown with a terminal-like icon in all distros.
