Clear message

What is a .desktop file, what is it for?

These files allow smooth integration into the Gnome and KDE menu. For an template see [:UniversePackageWithoutDesktopFileExampleFiles]

I have written a .desktop file, how do I submit it?

First, it would be great to inform upstream about this and get that desktop file included in the next upstream release. As an interim solution until the next release is out and integrated into ubuntu properly, please also link your contribution to this page. A member of the [:MOTUGames]Team will integrate it in the next upload. Additionally, if the package is also in Debian (most probably yes, check packages.debian.org), please also file an wishlist bug in the Debian BTS for inclusion into Debian.

If you are familar with packaging and modifying packages, you may also prepare a new package and list it on [:MOTUToReview]. A member of the [:MOTUGames]Team will be happy to review your contribution.
