Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04 KDE 4.3.2
Why in the world were 2,170 .desktop files installed, the vast majority of which are for applications NOT installed!?
For any that are interested, take a look at your /usr/share/app-install/desktop folder. Mine has 2,170 .desktop files taking up nearly a megabyte of disk space (865,905 bytes).
Just curious as to why the packagers would see it necessary to include these. I'd think that .desktop files should be included in the installation packages of the host application, and not packaged with the system installation itself.
