tuxpaint (Ubuntu)

Bug Description

the desktop file should be installed to /usr/share/applications and not /usr/share/gnome/apps.

Original bug report:

Binary package hint: gnome-app-install

At least one feisty/main application (tuxpaint) does not appear in gnome-app-install search:

Steps to reproduce (on three recent feisty installs):

* Open Applications->Add/Remove

(gnome-app-install syncs package lists)

* Choose "all" category and type "tuxpaint" into Search field (as far as I can tell this is indeed a feisty/main application)

("There is no matching application")

* Switch to "All open source apps" and "all available apps"

("There is no matching application")

* Open terminal, type "apt-cache search tuxpaint"

tuxpaint - A paint program for young children
tuxpaint-data - Data files for Tux Paint, a paint program for children
tuxpaint-stamps-default - Stamp files for Tux Paint, a paint program for children

* sudo apt-get install tuxpaint
