minitube - no icons in menues, problem with phonon-backend and no icon in wbar

[netnomad]

hi jason,

with the command "DESKTOP_SESSION=gnome minitube" everything works fine:
the buttons show icons and the volume bar works, too.

wrapped in an one-line-script it's a quick and dirty solution, that should be o.k.

thank you for your help.

Put "export DESKTOP_SESSION=gnome" in your ~/.ashrc and back it up and that variable will be set for all your apps, whether launched from the menu or terminal.   Makes VLC look like gtk2 as well.

hi jason,

works smooth and fine.
now only the menue-entry of fluxbox doesn't start properly and has an odd entry:

[exec](StopAfterThisVideo){minitube --stop-after-this}

the option --stop-after-this prevents minitube from a correct start.
would you mind to change the name to minitube and remove --stop-after-this?

thank you for your kind support and help.

The the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/ are from Debian, and I don't really want to start providing custom ones.  But for packages that are basically broken in their menu items I will consider it.  I will make one for minitube.

hi jason,

i guess that the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/ are o.k.,
but the menue-file /usr/local/tce.fluxbox provided for fluxbox is malformed

tc@box:/usr/local$ cat tce.fluxbox
[submenu] (Applications)
...
exec](StopAfterThisVideo){minitube --stop-after-this}
...
[end] TCE

Ok, will look into it tonight.

Added a more small WM compatible .desktop entry for minitube, simply runs minitube.  Works with fluxbox.
