Qt Designer, Linguist, Assistant, and Qt configuration should populate under the development program menu in KDE and Gnome even if it requires setting a use flag. It should be an option at least
Which ebuild and version is this about?
for x11-libs/qt and as far as I know it's all versions. In particular, I have versions x11-libs/qt-3.3.6-r4 and x11-libs/qt-4.2.3-r1 installed
Eh, there are no .desktop files anywhere in the tarball, this is a wrong place to request such stuff.
Yeah, I'm not sure what we can do differently.
yes, I noticed that it was not in the tarball, but I was basing my enhancement request on the following: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/designer-getting-started.html#launching-designer "On Unix or Linux, you may find a Qt Designer icon on the desktop background or in the desktop start menu under the Programming or Development submenus. You can launch Qt Designer from this icon." I was suggesting that the ebuild create these links... perhaps verify that KDE or gnome is installed, or having a use flag to activate the creation of these links.
Created attachment 115924 [details] Assistant.desktop The three files I'm attaching I made myself. we could put these in the "files" section of the ebuild perhaps?
Created attachment 115926 [details] Linguist.desktop
Created attachment 115927 [details] Qt Designer.desktop
Since I only know English these may be unacceptable, but they "work for me" and I don't think the Qt tools have different names in different languages... Perhaps we could request "official" ones from Trolltech if these don't satisfy Gentoo's internationalization needs?
They work for me. I guess the best place for them is /usr/share/applications, but I don't know for certain.

These should now be installed by qt-4.2.3-r1. Note that I renamed "Qt Designer.desktop" to "Designer.desktop" because portage had a terrible time manifesting a file with a space in the name. Thanks for the report.
