Good question :) It was accidently removed in Benjamin's cleanup commits(r. 
1.261):

http://68.118.205.171/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kdebase/kcontrol/background/background.desktop.diff?r1=1.260;r2=1.261;f=h

Perhaps a buggy test script? What other desktop files are broken? Did it 
perhaps remove all Categories fields which already was properly terminated?


Also, here's some _really_ strange stuff going on:

Revision 1.262: download - view: text, markup, annotated - select for diffs
 Thu Oct 21 02:51:56 2004 UTC (4 days, 1 hour ago) by scripty
 Branches: MAIN
 Diff to previous 1.261: preferred, colored
 Changes since revision 1.261: +0 -186 lines
    
-------------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
CVS_SILENT made messages (.desktop file)


http://68.118.205.171/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kdebase/kcontrol/background/background.desktop.diff?r1=1.261;r2=1.262;f=h

That's madness right?

Isn't the script kiddy running loose? How much is affected by this? Damage 
control? We still got the pot files, right? Because it should put them back, 
too?

I can go to bed now, without any scripts coming running at me, right?


Cheers,
