The lyx ebuilds have the following code: # gnome menu entry if use gnome; then insinto /usr/share/applications doins ${FILESDIR}/lyx.desktop fi As far as I see: 1. The .desktop file installed is a generic desktop entry supported not only by gnome, but by kde, xfce4 and maybe others; the gnome useflag is not appropriate 2. It could simply use domenu instead
Fixed in 1.3.5-r1
