[Slackbuilds-users] google-earth: no icon in KDE's menu

[Miguel De Anda]

sorry i should have spent more time to not create so much noise...

turns out the google-chrome package has a bad .desktop file (or maybe the
one downloaded from google has changed).

working -32.* version has:

Icon=/opt/google/chrome/product_logo_256.png

broken -38.* version has

Icon=google-chrome


a nice little sed -e
's/Icon=.*/Icon=\/opt\/google\/chrome\/product_logo_256.png/' would fix it.
not sure how to reach out to slackware maintainers though.

-m
