These release notes reflect test findings. Despite extensive testing it should be pointed out that xdg-utils is provided AS IS without warranty of any kind. See the LICENSE file for details. * general: - When installing applications or file types for the current user only (user mode) it may be necessary to restart the session in order for the panel and filemanager to show the correct icons. This problem typically occurs when the installation process required new (hidden) directories to be created under the user's home directory. * xdg-mime: - xdg-mime query filetype may fail under Gnome on certain Debian systems that do not have gnomevfs-info installed by default. * xdg-desktop-menu: - On Redhat RHEL 4 systems running Gnome, new submenus will not appear until the session is restarted. For testing purposes the command "killall gnome-panel" can be used instead of restarting the session. It is not recommended to use this as part of installation scripts though. - KDE based desktops may require several seconds to update the application menu after installing new items. The user may need to close the applications menu first before new items will show up. - On SUSE systems, desktop entries that list any of the standard menu Categories are often being placed in a "More Programs" submenu which makes them somewhat hard to find. * xdg-screensaver: - Screensaver locking does not work on KDE under SUSE 10.0 * xdg-email: - Please refer to http://portland.freedesktop.org/wiki/EmailConfig for additional information on setting up the default E-mail client. - With current versions of Mozilla Thunderbird it is not possible to specify attachments. In order to send an attachment, the user will need to attach the file manually. - Older versions of KMail do not support multiple To or CC recipients.
