Bug Description

The version of Nitrogen packaged in the Ubuntu repos doesn't have a launcher (.desktop file in /usr/share/applications) and has to be run from the command line. Yet, it installs an icon in the hicolor theme so I guess the .desktop is missing from the package. It's probably the case in Debian upstream too.

I just sent a pull request upstream fixing this:

https://github.com/l3ib/nitrogen/pull/29

I'll probably go ahead and backport it to the distro too.
