I am not sure how familiar you are with how R packages work (outside of Debian). As an R package author, John simply has _no means whatsoever_ to place files in /usr/bin or /usr/share/application. All he can do is include them so that distribution packagers like myself make use of files like the desktop (or pixmap) file. | > The logo is in the file Rcmdr.xbm in the package's etc directory.

If you supply a suitable file I could try to integrate it for Debian, and John may include it.
