Can't rename _SOME_ icons when they are on destkop.

Can confirm this as of Tue 11 Apr, 1:30AM NZDT.

Can not rename Rhythmbox Music Player to Rythmbox on the Desktop. Can also not rename Evolution Mail to Evolution.

Reassigning to the nautilus package.

Renaming a file on the desktop seems to add an entry into the .desktop file.
For example,
Name[en_IE]=Gobbledygook

This will take effect if in the correct language.

HOWEVER, it doesn't take effect if X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain is set... you can test by editing a .desktop file in ~/Desktop - removing the line X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain should allow renaming to occur.

Could you check this out, just to make sure I'm on the right track with your problem?

Name[en_US]=boo

I renamed it to be "boo" heh. And it appened that to the bottom of the
file, however, it didn't actually rename the icon.

REmoving that X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain stuff immediately allowed the icon to
be named "boo" after saving.

Anything else?

Thanks bunches,
Trae

nautilus needs to change the Name key as well as the Name[locale] key

Changing "Name" as well as "Name[locale]" causes the translation cache to be invalidated, as discussed on #ubuntu-desktop.

Do I need to do anything with this, or will it just be pushed out as a fix
with Ubuntu Dapper Drake when I apt-get dist-upgrade ?

Thank you for the patch, Gary. This upload fixes the issue:

 nautilus (2.14.1-0ubuntu3) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/patches/10_rename_desktop.patch:
     - patch by Gary Coady <email address hidden>, make renaming of a .desktop
       work with the language packs too (Ubuntu: #39002)
   * debian/patches/11_backup_files_list.patch:
     - patch by Gary Coady <email address hidden>, fix the backup files not listed
       when the hidden files option is used (Ubuntu: #5326)

This bug is still present in 2.14.1-0ubuntu4 (dapper fully updated in 17-apr-2006).

What happens is:

if you send an icon to desktop and rename it, it will work, as it will change the icon caption at the "Name=" line, not in your locale.

If you change the caption in your locale, nothing happens until you remove the last line, "X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain" - then nautilus shows the caption in the correct locale, not in "Name=" line.

There are still issues on this bug. See last comment.

how do you rename it for your locale?

Sorry, not sure what you are talking about. this seems to be fixed
upstream.

I'm asking you to give a clear description of your issue since you say that's not fixed. What do you rename and how? That's probably not fixed upstream since the language patch creating the issue is Ubuntu specific

It _IS_ fixed for me now. heh. I have apt-get dist-upgraded and it fixed
the problem.

:)

If I've lead you astray in you thinking it wasn't fixed, I apologize.

This bug seems fixed to me.

Thanks,
Trae

The comment was rather for Alexandre who reopened saying that's some case where it's not fixed yet, but since he's not subscribed to the bug and that work fine for me and on your box too closing it again

Explaining it a little better.

If you send an icon to desktop by right-clicking on it and selecting "Add this launcher to desktop" and renaming, by clicking once on it and typing F2, the .desktop will change the line "Name=", thus it will work. It will ignore completely the line "Name[yourlocale]=".

If you comment the last line, "X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=", it will use the localized line. If not, it completely ignores the localized lines and always use the "Name="

To test it:
- run latest dapper live
- when isolinux options appears, choose a language other than english (I always test with Brazilian Portuguese)
- gnome will launch, partly translated.
- Go to menu applications/accessories (acessórios in pt_BR)
- Calculator, for instance, is there, correctly translated as "Calculadora"
- Right-click calculator and choose "Add this launcher to desktop"
- Calculator will appear at desktop, but in english!
- Open a terminal and edit the .desktop file.
- Comment the last line, "X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain="
- Now the icon is correctly translated.

This breaks "espresso" icon from being localized, as its icon appears on the desktop.

What you describe looks an another issue. Renaming works, as you said it uses Name= which is good enough because the .desktop doesn't ship any translation for your custom name and you want to get the name you type used anyway and not a translation of it. Please open an another bug for the espresso issue you face
