Subject: [PATCH] Re: bug#23094: icecat is missing a desktop file
Date: Sun, 10 Apr 2016 12:04:04 +0200

Here's a patch which adds a desktop file to icecat:

Note that there's still a maintenance problem with the icon - version "38.6.0" is currently hard-coded, so if icecat updates, it won't be able to find its icon. What is the usual way to fix this?
