Currently poseidonCE ebuild install a non-valid .desktop file when the kde use flag is set. This make it not appear on kde's menu.
Also it installs it into the kde-dir (which depends on the slot) instead than in the /usr/share directory (as other applications do).
Also, it installs icon and desktop file if one of gnome or kde support is requested (so it request to select a support).

The attached ebuild creates a single standard desktop file without GNOME or KDE extensions, and places it into /usr/share/applications, where both KDE and GNOME (and also desktop environments afaik) can look at it.
This removes the need of having the gnome and kde use-flags, installing always the icon and the desktop entry.

Patch over 3.0.1 ebuild.

Also attached the patch because it seems to be a pretty small change.

poseidonCE-3.0.1.ebuild

I was hacking around with desktop-file-utils from fd.o and I found that there
was a little omission on the .desktop file categories. Now the desktop file is
fd.o compliant.

Also, seems like azureus make the .desktop file in the files/ subdir, now I'm
wondering which of the two is the better solution. If someone tells me to do
the .desktop directly I can do it immediatly (seems to me like a cleaner
solution).

Patch over current ebuild follow.

maybe it would be better to use make_desktop_entry from eutils.eclass?
