Ok, this did the trick, thanks, i will soone upload the new unicorn
package.

BTW, just two questions still :

1) is the trailing ; needed ?

2) the app is really not all that gnome specific, will it also be showed
in a KDE desktop, despite its leading GNOME category ?

And is the System submenu right for this, or should it go under testing ?
