| Matter of fact, gretl-1.5.1 includes this in gnome/gretl.desktop:
|
| [Desktop Entry]
| Name=gretl
| Comment=Econometrics program
| Exec=gretl
| Icon=gretl.png
| Terminal=0
| Type=Application
| X-GNOME-DocPath=gretl/gretl.xml
| Categories=Application;Scientific;Econometrics

| install-misc:
| $(tooldir)/mkinstalldirs $(desktopdir)
| $(INSTALL_DATA) $(topsrc)/gnome/gretl.desktop $(desktopdir)

I think I have it figure out -- 'cd gnome && make install-misc' does it for
the gretl side, and dh_desktop registers it on the Debian side. Will upload
now.
Thanks again for the suggestion.
