Thanks, it looks very good and works fine on GNUstep. However, there
seems to be something inconsistent (unrelated to your changes):
In GNU Emacs 23.0.60 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, NS gnustep-gui-0.12.0)
of 2008-10-22 on gana.yavor.doganov.org
Windowing system distributor `GNU', version
103.110.117.115.116.101.112.45.103.117.105.45.48.46.49.50.46.48
How do you generate this output? And do you know what code is
responsible?
On GNU and Unix-like systems GNUstep uses X, so I find this very
strange and of course not informative at all. I haven't checked why
`x-server-version' is so bizarre in this case, but probably you know
already.
x-server-version should be returning identical to ns-version-string
("gnustep-gui-0.12.0"
in this case), which it does here. (Don't be fooled by the name of
the function, it does not refer to X11.) If not it is a weird bug.
If you could put a println in ns_appkit_version() in nsfns.m and see
if it IS indeed being called and if it IS generating that weird
string, it would help track it down.
nextstep/GNUstep/Emacs.base/Resources/Emacs.desktop
IMHO this is entirely useless for GNUstep, because:
1) Typically, GNUstep users do not use freedesktop.org-aware
environments such as GNOME/KDE/Xfce.
2) Even in the rare cases when they do, the .desktop files must be in
$(datadir)/applications (or ~/.local/share/applications) in order
to be parsed, loaded and to show up in the menus.
3) The file is invalid (this can be fixed, certainly, but it is a
general problem with all standard GNUstep apps where the pl2link
tool generates broken .desktop files and puts them in the wrong
place).
OK, I'll think about dropping the file.
thanks,
Adrian
