it is good for us to add .desktop files to some apps at packaging stage, but consider that it is always better to convince the author of a project to include it upstream. not only more people can profit from it but it will be also maintained correctly, updated and languages would be added because the more people use something the better the chance that somebody contributes to it. - D -- Damir Perisa Master Student Biozentrum, University of Basel Department Biochemistry / Focal Area Infection Biology Klingelbergstrasse 50-70 CH-4056 Basel, Switzerland
