2) There is a build problem with other *nix platforms. Luckily this showed that the implementation could work on other *nix platforms too (like bsd), even if my work was supposed to work only on Linux. So we have to be grateful that this build error showed up, otherwise we wouldn't have tested on bsd. | 2) There is a build problem with other *nix platforms.

So far, the webapp support has been tested on GNOME 2, GNOME 3, Unity, LXDE. In LXDE there is a problem related to the categorization (if the desktop entry file hasn't a category, the application icon won't be showed in the menu). We'll however support the categorization ( | So far, the webapp support has been tested on GNOME 2, GNOME 3, Unity, LXDE.
