compiler not working if started from launcher

[jutaro]

Leksah works if started from a terminal, but it doesn't work if started from the Launcher.
I guess this is a problem with how Leksah handles processes (process-groups).

I can comfirm this bug.
 And you cannot search leksah from the dash, even you've installed it, nothing will show in the dash.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I can confirm that this bug also affects Ubuntu 12.10

Got it to work on the laucher:

1) Created /usr/share/applications/leksah.desktop file:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Leksah
Comment=Haskell Integrated Development Environment
Icon=/usr/share/leksah/pics/leksah.png
Exec=leksah %U
Terminal=false
Categories=Development;IDE;Haskell;

2) found the newly created leksah Icon in Nautilus at /usr/share/applications directory and dragged it to launcher

Now when I click this icon in the laucher the Leksah IDE comes up.

Hud is now also able to find it.

this seems to be a packaging problem
i just found the *.desktop file at
https://github.com/leksah/leksah/blob/master/linux/applications/leksah.desktop

Thank you. The problem is that the linux integration files (linux/ on github) aren't included in the tarballs that leksah release on hackage.haskell.org, which are the ones we package.

I forwarded this upstream at https://github.com/leksah/leksah/issues/14
