Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-28 04:14:44 UTC 
Currently, qcad doesn't add a desktop entry so it doesn't appear in menus.
The attached patch calls make_desktop_entry to add one.
Note: no icons are shipped with qcad, so I simply set the icon to 'qcad', so that icon themes can add an apps/qcad icon, and it will automatically be used. The default value for make_desktop_entry's icon parameter is, imho, wrong: ${PN}.png requires that the icon is in png format, but fd.o standards states that it could be everything, a png or an xpm, or also a svg, so only the name should be used.
Desktop environments takes care of find the right icon for the name, or to show a default icon if missing.

HTH,
Diego
