Today by mistake i deleted the files inside /usr/share/applications directory, as a result my Fedora 13 application launcher got wiped off. I was thinking
of formating and reinstalling the OS again, but that's going to be a costly operation for me. So did a bit of searching and found the below solution and it worked well.
`rpm -Va | grep missing` command will give the list of missing files from the packages installed in your Operating System.
missing /usr/share/applications/evince.desktop
missing /usr/share/applications/mozilla-thunderbird.desktop
missing /usr/share/applications/rpmfusion-gnome-mplayer.desktop
missing /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop
missing /usr/share/applications/openoffice.org-calc.desktop
missing /usr/share/applications/fedora-gnash.desktop
missing /usr/share/applications/system-config-users.desktop
missing /usr/share/applications/openoffice.org-base.desktop
missing /usr/share/mozilla/extensions/
From this list i took the files which has /usr/share/application in its path and then reinstalled them using yum reinstall. This solved the problem.
