Amarok in KDE and Banshee in gnome

Question

I want to do something to prevent Banshee from start in KDE (even accidentally)

Edit: I want to do somehow lock the banshee in KDE. (/bin/banshee be only valid in gnome.)

Answer 1

To hide banshee from the menu's in KDE you'll need to change the desktop file to only show the menu item in Unity/Gnome

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications
cp /usr/share/applications/banshee.desktop ~/.local/share/applications

Edit the file ~/.local/share/applications/banshee.desktop

Add to the bottom of this file

OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;

Save.

However the above only hides banshee. To prevent banshee from starting in KDE you'll need to edit the banshee executable script

sudo nano /usr/bin/banshee

now add the following at the position shown:

if [ x"$KDE_FULL_SESSION" = x"true" ]; then
  exit
fi
