Description George 2021-05-07 12:12:10 UTC 
SUMMARY
.desktop entry has an invalid Type= field, causing it to give warnings when parsing. This is causing a warning when opening MenuLibre, a .desktop file editor/parser.

No actual known usability impact beyond the field just being invalid.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open org.kde.kded5.desktop file
2. Verify on Table 2 valid Type entries are "Application", "Link", or "Directory" - https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#recognized-keys


OBSERVED RESULT
Type=Service

EXPECTED RESULT
Type={Application|Link|Directory}

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch, Plasma 5.81.0-1
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.81.0-1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.81.0-1
Qt Version: 5.15.2+kde+r192-1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nicolas Fella 2021-05-07 13:04:18 UTC 
The spec explicitly acknowledges Type=Service as a KDE extension in Section "B. Currently reserved for use within KDE"
