severity 476106 wishlist
thanks

Hello,

i intend to adopt Byzanz and want to become the new maintainer. I guess
the reply is far to late but nevertheless here are my thoughts on this
bug report.

Byzanz is implemented as a GNOME applet which actually means the only
way to make it visible is to add the applet to the GNOME panel. I've
described this procedure in the latest (still unreleased) version in 
README.Debian. 

At the moment byzanz isn't a graphical standalone application which you
can launch from any kind of menu and where a .desktop file would be
really useful indeed. 

I don't think this behaviour will change in the near future. Byzanz is
an applet and a command line tool and the author of byzanz intends to
keep it that simple. If this situation changed in
the future i would add a .desktop file but for the moment i
think this isn't necessary. Hence i set the severity of this bug to wishlist. 

Regards
Markus Koschany
