Title:
(oneiric) mplayer does not install .desktop file
Bug still present in Ubuntu 13.04
I like mplayer without gui frontends: I only use his keyboard shortcuts, and
the minimal window with just the titlebar is perfect (actually, a border-only
window with the Unity top title bar would be even better)

I reported not about mplayer, but about any generic app, which does not
have .desktop file.
Bug #886778 is same, but fixed only for Quantal. Please fix for Precise!

Exec=mplayer %U
TryExec=mplayer
Icon=mplayer
Type=Application
Categories=AudioVideo;Player;
NoDisplay=true
I've created the icons with:
$ cd ~

Testing your .desktop here has 2 effects -
The icon in the launcher has no control over the mplayer instance
The cpu use is abnormally high, 99% of one cpu
Here I do use a
Doug: yes, but with terminal=true, you will get a terminal and a mplayer
windows which (at least to me) is not a desirable effect. However, with
terminal=false, you do not get an icon, that is true.

after I logged out and in, I now get a green apple even with
terminal=false.
Anyway, there is also a bug for cmd application not showing up in unity
here: bug 782926.
