While that would be a good solution, I suspect it should involve a change upstream to ensure consistency across Linux distributions. A less intrusive solution would be to patch the desktop file, ie like this: diff --git a/cont/freedesktop/applications/spring.desktop b/cont/freedesktop/applications/spring.desktop index ce592432..40fbd70d 100755 --- a/cont/freedesktop/applications/spring.desktop +++ b/cont/freedesktop/applications/spring.desktop @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ MimeType=application/x-spring-demo;x-scheme-handler/spring; Comment=An open source RTS with similar gameplay to TA Comment[de]=Open-Source Multiplayerstrategie Comment[it]=Un gioco di strategia in tempo reale multi giocatore simile a TA -Exec=spring %u +Exec=/usr/games/spring %u Icon=spring Terminal=false Type=Application This will of course not help command line users with both packages installed, which might be surprised what is first in PATH. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
