I don't believe it makes sense for those to have a .desktop > file. I have very little experience with these games - bsdgames seems to ship a menu file (but no desktop files) (and is the only set of terminal games i have). OTOH, .desktop supports applications needing a terminal, so we could if we wanted. The problem is the number of menu entries that would result from (say) bsdgames being installed. thanks, kk -- Karl Goetz, (Kamping_Kaiser / VK5FOSS) Debian contributor / gNewSense Maintainer http://www.kgoetz.id.au No, I won't join your social networking group
