Bug Description

Binary package hint: pessulus

After installing 'Lockdown Editor' or 'pessulus' from Add/Remove..., I fail to see a shortcut (or .desktop) file in the Applications menu.

I've checked for the .desktop file at '/usr/share/applications/pessulus.desktop' and it appears to exist, but I also ran 'killall gnome-panel' and it still did not appear in my Applications menu.

Am I doing something incorrect, or is this a bug?

i can confirm this in: xubuntu-9.04-rc-i386, pessulus version 2.26.0-0ubuntu1 (jaunty)

Pessulus shows as installed in Applications -> Add/Remove, but it isnt found in any of the menus under Applications. Yes Oliver Grawert, I checked both the Applications -> System and the Applications -> Settings menus, and all the others, yet I couldnt find it. It also cant be found when searching in Application Finder. Thunar doesnt show it at /usr/share/applications, but Catfish finds it there. The program does run from Catfish, but clicking Help in bottom-left of Pessulus just closes Pessulus. The README file says to see HACKING for reporting bugs for this pkg but i couldnt find that file either. I of course logged out and restarted several times but still same issue.

summary: - No shortcut / .desktop file for Hardy installation
+ No shortcut or .desktop file for Jaunty installation
