heh ... i have a suggestion ... let's create a metabug like
"not all games for X have a desktop entry" 
.... would this be fine ? ( question for developers )

Created an attachment (id=70486) [details]
patch to ebuild to create a desktop entry

well, i have a lot of games that i need to add (about 5 or 6 more). so i guess 
i should wait for someone to answer your question? or should i continue with 
the bug reports?

let's just wait for answer for some time :)

as for this bug it would be nice to have something like
make_desktop_entry glob2 "Globulation 2"
"${GAMES_DATADIR}/${PN}/data/gfx/ressource6.png"

No, not interested in a meta bug about desktop files.

Also, not very interested in a bunch of bugs about random games missing desktop
entries.  If there's one of your favorite games that is missing a desktop file,
go ahead and file an enhancement bug about it, but carpet bombing bugzilla with
all the games missing desktop entries isn't what we're looking for.

allright. sorry for any inconvenience caused. 
 
however theres one more game that i would like to file a bug for; would that be 
ok? 

fixed in CVS.

re: the icon, we don't just pick what we like for icons generally.  Since
upstream doesn't include an icon in the release, there is a menu entry but no
icon.  When they do include an icon in their release, we'll use that.

Thanks for the bug report.

here are the icons....
