Description Mark Harfouche 2013-07-17 22:13:11 UTC 
Description of problem:
There is no desktop entry for htop.

I think it should either be installed by default with the htop package, or installed as a separate package.

Additional info:

This is basically the desktop file needed.
The last line doesn't accomplish anything with Gnome-Shell, but I think that is a gnome-shell issue.

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Htop
Type=Application

TryExec=htop
Exec=htop
Terminal=true
Icon=htop
Categories=ConsoleOnly;System;
GenericName=Process Viewer

Hi Mark,

desktop file was removed because of the bug 689028.
Comment 2 Mark Harfouche 2014-01-17 22:56:17 UTC 
Hi Dawid,


Thanks for explaining.

I think htop/top is a very important task managing tool.

Would you considering adding it as a separate package?

Maybe htop-destkop.rpm depending on htop.rpm?
Comment 3 Rahul Sundaram 2014-01-17 23:08:44 UTC 
I think that is overkill.  htop is a command line program and command line programs don't ship with desktop files.  It is reserved for desktop graphical applications.   You are free to create your own desktop file and run it the way you prefer but shipping it in the repository is against the Fedora guidelines
