Subject: File for application menu entry (.desktop file) missing

Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2007 19:29:04 +0100

Package: supertuxkart
Version: 0.2-1
Severity: normal

According to
dpkg -L supertuxkart
the package does contain the directory for application menu entries
(/usr/share/applications) but does not contain a .desktop file

As a result it does not show up in the Games submenu in KDE (and very likely
no in any other menu which uses the freedesktop.org menu specification)

As an example have a look at package supertux

Hello,

Thank you for this bug report. You're right. The desktop file is present in 
our svn but it not installed. I'll fixe this issue.
