[Monodevelop-devel] Integration MonoDevelop into Gnome

[Alexander M. Batishchev]

Also, as far as MonoDevelop opens only first file passed as argument and
ignores others
and as provided by Desktop Entry Spec, Exec key
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html

monodevelop.desktop should contain:
Exec=monodevelop %f

now this key is just:
Exec=monodevelop

What do you think?

The MD makefile has done this for many years. See the
monodevelop.desktop file in the MD source, and the Makefile.am which
has
desktopdir = $(datadir)/applications
desktop_DATA = monodevelop.desktop

Perhaps something is wrong with your local install, or you are looking
in the wrong place? For example, if you configure with a prefix of
/usr/local, the .desktop file will be in
/usr/local/share/applications/
