Pdesktop: rdesktop client

February 14, 2013 — BarryK
I recently reported on PETs created by Daniel:

Daniel has done some more work on Pdesktop, now at version 1.2.1, and he sent me the PET.
I tidied up a few things:

1. Changed the name /usr/share/applications/rhapsody.desktop to pdesktop.desktop.
2. In pdesktop.desktop, our practice is to include the app name plus a couple of words description, so I made it:
Name=Pdesktop RemoteDesktop client
3. In /usr/share/icons/hicolor/, I removed 16x16 and scalable, as they were incorrect.
4. Duplicate icons were replaced with symlinks.
5. pet.specs: changed the dependencies:
+gtkdialog3,+rdesktop

...requires 'rdesktop' package to work.
