If not too complicated, would it be possible to include a .desktop file in the Ubuntu installers? It's not necessary per se, but it would be useful.
A file like drracket-<version>.desktop, to be placed in either /usr/share/applications for a system-wide installation or in ~/.local/share/applications otherwise. This file would look like this: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=DrRacket Comment=Racket IDE Exec=drracket %F Terminal=false Type=Application Icon=/usr/lib/racket-5.3.2.3/collects/icons/plt-logo-red-diffuse.png StartupNotify=true Categories=Development; The Icon line also depends on the installation type. (Personally, I don't really care much about non-system-wide installation, as as keep only the last version of Racket on my computer.) Cheers, Laurent P.S.: If needed, more information on desktop files can be found here: http://developer.gnome.org/integration-guide/stable/desktop-files.html.en
