The .desktop file is not installed.

It's not going to fly...downloading source code, modify it locally, and then
use that code is not the way it works. When you are using a scm
checkout/snapshot, notes about the details should be mentioned in the spec file
and the numbering should reflect it too. I suggest that you try to convince
upstream to make a proper release.

btw, rpmlint says:
