Help on .desktop files for oxygen

[Hugo Pereira Da Costa]

Harald, David,

Thanks for the feedback. Obviously too much careless copy/paste on my side.

Harald:
Having all the configuration featurs of oxygen-settings in 
systemsettings is simply not an option (it has been discussed at length 
among oxygen devs). So the available solutions are either:

1/ no "advanced options" GUI at all, and we instruct power users on how 
to modify oxygenrc manually at will. This is what we started with, and 
Nuno has a blog post about it.

2/ keep oxygen-settings to edit oxygenrc for you, but don't make it 
generally available, instructing people that it is here and can be run 
via command line on a per-user, per-bug, per-whatever basis. This is the 
current solution (and I've read complains about it on various forums).

3/ make it available via .desktop file, which is what I suggest now.

Also, we're naturally ready to discuss the possibility of moving some 
(one or two, no more) of the "advanced" options to the "basic" options.

More detailed questions follow.

True. I guess now you know which desktop file I use to make mine ;)

Clear. Thanks !

mmm. I'm confused. There is no "start-here-oxygen.png" icon in themes, 
whereas there is an oxygen.png icon (well, in oxygen theme). But maybe I 
should rather ship the icon (and install) with the application ?

Fine with me (and I agree about your concern).
Any better Categories suggestion ? (or alternatively, where do I find 
the list of available Categories) ?

Even a KDE;Application;Misc would suit me.

I want the application to appear in the menu, but do not care about how 
visible it is (and it should definitely not be as visible as 
system-settings).
