Hello, I'm surprised to see there are no .desktop files for dev-qt/linguist and dev-qt/designer, you're forced to start the tools by hand. In various other distributions there are available in the menus but are they home made or the ebuilds just forget to install them? $ equery f linguist * Searching for linguist ... * Contents of dev-qt/linguist-5.5.1-r1: /usr /usr/lib64 /usr/lib64/qt5 /usr/lib64/qt5/bin /usr/lib64/qt5/bin/linguist /usr/share /usr/share/qt5 /usr/share/qt5/phrasebooks /usr/share/qt5/phrasebooks/danish.qph /usr/share/qt5/phrasebooks/dutch.qph /usr/share/qt5/phrasebooks/finnish.qph /usr/share/qt5/phrasebooks/french.qph /usr/share/qt5/phrasebooks/german.qph /usr/share/qt5/phrasebooks/hungarian.qph /usr/share/qt5/phrasebooks/italian.qph /usr/share/qt5/phrasebooks/japanese.qph /usr/share/qt5/phrasebooks/norwegian.qph /usr/share/qt5/phrasebooks/polish.qph /usr/share/qt5/phrasebooks/russian.qph /usr/share/qt5/phrasebooks/spanish.qph /usr/share/qt5/phrasebooks/swedish.qph
Yep, only their qt4 counterparts install a desktop file at the moment. This has been on my todo list for qt5 since "the beginning".

I'm sorry if I'm not following this properly, but couldn't we just use the followgin in the .desktop file: Exec=designer -qt5 ...and: Exec=designer -qt4 ...respectively. Also, the Icons are not working in KDE Plasma for these .desktop files. I think it's because they are missing from /usr/share/icons/hicolor/<SIZE>. Perhaps /usr/share/pixmaps is not good enough for Plasma.

I'm not sure what you mean, the changes referenced in comment #4 should install to /usr/share/icons.
Fixed in 5.9.4.
