Bug Description

Hi,

In the package version 0.14+cvs20050820-1ubuntu1 in dapper AMD64, the file /usr/share/applications/gtodo.desktop is missing the encoding directive, which stops the application icon appearing properly in gnome (menus, desktop, quick start, ...).

The fix is very simple -- just add "Encoding=UTF-8" to the top of the file.

The extra line is not in fact necessary. The issue is this:
Encoding=UTF-8X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gtodo
It's invalid, and removing it causes the icon to appear fine.

I just got the latest Dapper (PPC) network update and twice saw a similar message as the update was being applied (see attached log).

I was surprised to see the problem in gtodo as it didn't obviously appear to be part of the update. Further evidence:

/usr/share/applications$ ls -l gtodo.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 813 2006-04-06 21:40 gtodo.desktop

So, why haven't I seen this bug in the past? What would be the correct contents of the "Encoding" line? (It's the last line of gtodo.desktop in my case.)

The patch file mentioned above ("05_desktop-file.patch") fails to patch my gtodo.desktop file.

After a little scouting around I found that my copy of gtodo.desktop is suffering from lack of a new-line character in its last line.

I am attaching the patch that fixed my gtodo.desktop

Your patch won't work because it's a patch for /usr/share/applications/gtodo.desktop. It is not the the same file than the one in the source package, gtodo.desktop.in.
"X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gtodo" is added automatically, that's why I didn't put it in my patch.
Anyway, I will post a debdiff this afternoon.
