[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#370389: xfce4: ~/.menu content not displayed in the "Xfce Menu" after installing a program in french with wine

[KnuX]

Package: xfce4
Version: 4.3.90.1-2
Severity: normal


Hi all,

This bug occured on Xfce 4.2 and since it is still present in the 4.4, I submit it.

First, I had a perfect Xfce Menu. I run the "PhotoFiltre" installer with wine, it adds some entries in the ~/.menu/wine file and simultaneously, the debian 
entry menu called "Applications", and entry from CrossOver Office disappeared from the Xfce Menu. I used wine, and not crossover, for installing photofiltre ;)

xsession-errors gives me theses lines:
(xfdesktop:5137): libxfcegui4-WARNING **: XfceAppMenuItem: 'name' failed utf8 validation for .desktop file 
'/home/knux/.local/share/applications//menu-xdg/X-Debian-Wine-Programmes-PhotoFiltre-d\xe9sinstaller_photofiltre.desktop'

(xfdesktop:5137): libxfcegui4-WARNING **: XfceAppMenuItem: 'name' failed utf8 validation for .desktop file 
'/home/knux/.local/share/applications//menu-xdg/X-Debian-Wine-Programmes-PhotoFiltre-d\xe9sinstaller_photofiltre.desktop'

(xfdesktop:5137): libxfcegui4-WARNING **: XfceAppMenuItem: 'name' failed utf8 validation for .desktop file 
'/home/knux/.kde/share/applnk/Wine/Programmes/PhotoFiltre/D\xe9sinstaller PhotoFiltre.desktop'

** (xfdesktop:5137): WARNING **: XfceDesktopMenu: Error parsing xfdesktop menu file (0): Erreur à la ligne 185 caractère 1 : Texte codé en UTF-8 non valide

You can find the .menu directory before and after the install:
- http://www.ownz.us/~max/xfce/menu_ok.tar.bz2
- http://www.ownz.us/~max/xfce/menu_bad.tar.bz2

If I remove the "~/.menu/wine" file or replace the accentued characters, it's ok. I hope this mail will help you to resolve this bug :$

Good luck, and thanks to you for xfce ;)
KnuX
