Hi,Trunk has now a lyx.desktop file, but what happens when lyx is compiled with the option "--with-version-suffix=..."? The binary then gets a suffix, but in the desktop file the command "lyx", without suffix, is still found. For me as a packager (openSUSE) it is no problem to patch the desktop file when building with version suffix (which I do only for test/unstable builds), but is this what you want?
