Re: [Vala] gnome-desktop usage..

I was sure I sent a reply to everyone, but apparently not..

I had actually considered that.. this was only one of many attempt to get it to work.
One of my previous attempts was written:

    DesktopItem di;

    try {
      di = new DesktopItem.from_file( 
        "test.desktop",
        DesktopItemLoadFlags.ONLY_IF_EXISTS
      );
    } catch(GLib.Error err) {
      message( err.message );
    }

    if ( di != null ) {
      message( di.get_string("Name") );
    }

and this behaves the same. I've even tried moving the message/get_string
into the try block itself, and no go. (di is still null and no errors are thrown)

Is there something else I'm missing?

Appreciate it!
Shawn
