[racket-dev] [Feature request] Gnome/Unity desktop file

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
