Sylpheed comes with a desktop file (see http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fdesktop_2dentry_2dspec for details). This file is located at /usr/share/docs/sylpheed-1.0.x/sylpheed.desktop.gz. Most applications seem to put the desktop file in /usr/share/applications. Could the ebuild be enhanced to unzip the file and place it in that directory? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Fixed in CVS. Thank you for reporting!
