Pietro, Nice work. I now drop a slightly modified file r-cran-rcmdr.desktop into /usr/share/applications and it gets picked up automatically on Ubuntu 8.10 with KDE 4.1 and Debian testing with KDE 3.5. The new menu entry appears in both Education->Mathematics and Education->Science with KDE 4.1, and under Edutainment->Mathematics and Edutainment->Science with KDE 3.5.
For John, I have attached a tarball with these files: e...@ron:~/src/debian/CRAN/Rcmdr-1.4-8> tar cvzf Rcmdr-addons.tar.gz inst/etc/linux/ inst/etc/linux/ inst/etc/linux/Rcmdr.desktop inst/etc/linux/Rcmdr.sh inst/etc/linux/Rcmdr.png e...@ron:~/src/debian/CRAN/Rcmdr-1.4-8> The desktop file there uses 'our' (ie Debian/Ubuntu) package path; other may need to adjust it. The png and sh are as emailed earlier. I had some difficulties with the build process as the diff utility did not like the new binary .png file. I may just pretend that this is a new version 1.4-7.1; so far I just called it 1.4-8 which is a bad idea as I should stay 'off' a number John will most likely use next.
