Where are the Unity Launcher .desktop files?
I searched for a .desktop file for supermeatboy since it wasn't in /usr/share/applications/ . So I used the Terminal:
chocobai@desktoppc:/$ locate *.desktop | grep -iR "meat" /home/chocobai/.gnome/apps/supermeatboy_com-supermeatboy_1.desktop /home/chocobai/.local/share/applications/supermeatboy_com-supermeatboy_1.desktop /home/chocobai/.supermeatboygame/.mojosetup/supermeatboy_com-supermeatboy_1.desktop
I guess the Installer did this because of backward compatibility. How does Unity handle these Files? Specifically, which folders does it watch? Why don't they need to be executeable? Why isn't there only one folder like /usr/share/applications/ to hold .desktop files?
I found many answers to similar questions, sounding like
"It should be in /usr/share/applications, but if it's not there, just type in the terminal..."
and so on. But that never answered the question of how Unity handles (finds, searches) these files. Thanks in advance.
