By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Strange bug.

I am testing TDE apps in non TDE environments. I have had good success but one element does not work correctly in Fedora 21. Specifically, I lose the *.desktop file associations I assigned in TDE. Long ago I added kate, kwrite, and kedit as apps that can open desktop files.

I tested dolphin and krusader and the file associations are again lost in non TDE environments.

All three work as expected in TDE.

I tested TDE in Slackware 14.1 using KDE4, MATE, fluxbox, xfce, and icewm. In each case I ran TDE Konqueror and I did not lose the *.desktop file associations.

In Fedora 21 I tested in MATE, Cinnamon, and GNOME. That is all I have installed, other than TDE. The file associations work in TDE but not in non TDE.

No other file associations seem affected.

My testing in non TDE environments:

========================
export TDEHOME=$HOME/.trinity
export TDEDIR=/opt/trinity
export TDEDIRS=/usr/local/tde_mods:$TDEDIR
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/usr/local/tde_mods/etc/xdg:/etc/trinity/xdg:/etc/xdg
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/local/tde_mods/share:/opt/trinity/share:/usr/local/share:/usr/share
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/opt/trinity/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin
kfmclient openProfile filemanagement
========================

At this moment I believe something in Fedora is masking the *.desktop file associations, but what?

Is this bug still valid? And is it a TDE bug?
