kbuildsyscoa4 KConfigIni Invalid Escape Sequence
Fedora 17 x86_64 After a recent update got a bunch of these in a terminal session. kbuildsycoca4 running... "KConfigIni: In file /home/me/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Spotify.desktop, line 4: " "Invalid escape sequence "\ "." Most of these warnings referred to .desktop files whose "Categories" line did not terminate with a ";". OK fine. Those were easily fixed. But the above message related to this line in my Spotify.desktop file, Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/me/.wine" wine C:\\\\windows\\\\command\\\\start.exe /Unix /home/me/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/me/Start\ Menu/Programs/Spotify.lnk and it took some experimentation to resolve the issue. Adding an extra back slash solved the problem. (Added back slash in red ). Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/me/.wine" wine C:\\\\windows\\\\command\\\\start.exe /Unix /home/me/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/me/Start\ \ Menu/Programs/Spotify.lnk
