I prefer smashing the flashing light with the manual.

qwerty12: your paths are wrong. There's no "/desktop" in there.

I don't have that path either. Deleted the file from a similar location, but didn't change anything.

LOL. Now that I'm home I finally get the joke. I read post with the youtube link at work, but the link to youtube is blocked. There are ways around that, but better to stay below radar

[QUOTE=debernardis;301049]To stop the invasion just edit
Code:
 /home/user/.osso/menus/applications.menu
and erase all istances of
Code:
<Filename>abiword.desktop</Filename>
except one (leafpad is your friend); then, as root, do
Code:
update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications/hildon
. And this zaps them dead.

You siad to go in and delete the code things or whatever, but I was wondering, where do you find these, do you use the app manager or the file manager, or something else?

I believe the use of the terminal is implied in the process...

On a side note, we have an update to 2.7.6
Nothing wrong so far, seems to be fully functional and all the menus are just fine.
Heading toward the perfect wordprocessor for the tablets, can't wait it to arrive

Wow. The AbiWord packager is really hell bent on desktop files. 3 desktop files are shipped, and not 2 as I thought.

debernardis' solution seems the best if you've already rebooted after installing but if you haven't already rebooted after installing, deleting these desktop files should do the trick:
Code:
/usr/share/applications/abiword.desktop
/etc/others-menu/3257_abiword.desktop

Hey, all, long time no forum - I tried one little change to the upstream abiword-ite debian packaging thing that should make there be no desktop file in the /etc path mentioned above. My hunch is that the package is somehow installing both the maemo-specific desktop file (on its own) as well as the standard desktop file (in the process of the regular compile-and-install sequence), which would imply we need to remove this latter one ( usr/share/applications/abiword.desktop) from the debian package build staging area.

Please do come visit with us upstream - it's much easier for someone (or several someones) to help figure out the problem in the source than try to come up with voodoo workarounds for the resulting package - this is one reason why open source is good!

Can anyone else confirm this? If so I'll update the bug report at Abisource.
