Hi,
xfce4 menu seems only to use the first word in Exec= line of a .desktop file.
Thus, (freedesktop.org) menu entries for eg. OpenOffice.org, having a
line like:
Exec=ooffice -writer %U
don't work correctly. Upstream doesn't plan on fixing it in the near
future:
http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2430
A workaround for this particular issue could be to fall back to
oowriter, oocalc etc. wrappers for OO.o, but it doesn't fix the
cause, and I'm hesitant to file a bug on OO.o for something that's
not its fault.
FWIW, Slackware packager does exactly that:
