I do not use KDE, but the .desktop file shipped in the upstream tarball
works on GNOME. I have improved it following Free Desktop's Desktop
Entry Specification[1] and Desktop Menu Specification[2]. I used a patch
for that.
Unfortunately, I could not test the newly build package because I cannot
install the new python package version (2.4.3-11) as I suffer from some
python transition problems.

May you please check if it is ok on KDE?

Thanks, I totally forgot to include a menu entry, which is now done. I
had to add a build-dependency on imagemagick to convert the PNG icon to
an XPM icon.

The newly built package is available at:
http://kirya.net/~julien/pkg-listen/

Direct link to .dsc:
http://kirya.net/~julien/pkg-listen/listen_0.4.3-1.dsc

Anyone could also test on GNOME?

Thanks!
Cheers,
Julien
