I have both KDE and GNOME desktop environments installed on Ubuntu 10.10. When I add the entry OnlyShowIn=GNOME; in a .desktop file, the application doesn't appear in the KDE menu.

However, when I add OnlyShowIn=KDE; the file still appears in the GNOME menu. Does anyone know why this isn't working? Does anyone have a workaround?

    Works here. Which file have you edited?

Try running sudo update-desktop-database after you make any changes to the .desktop files.

I don't know about the whole Gnome story but you could use this in the meanwhile:

Gnome Menu Extended (Debian package)

There's a KDE version too: K Menu Gnome (Debian package)

Hint: read the Breaking news section in the first link. ;)
