Ok, so... a bit of a hurdle... but fixing lmms Precise would require a SRU 
(Stable Release Update).  This is a long process (which is fine as, an LTS is 
supported for 5 years, I hope to eventually fix it).  However, I have 
successfully created a bzr branch for Raring Ringtail, and I have  proposed 
merging lp:~israeldahl/ubuntu/raring/lmms/lmms_0.4.13 into lp:ubuntu/lmms.  
Which basically means the people in charge can now see that it is there, and 
decide if they want to include it.  Since Raring Ringtail is not an LTS, I 
think that it is more likely they will accept it.
I will work on the patch to install the desktop file and try to get a bug fix 
in quantal and in precise.  I don't think I can get 0.4.13 into Precise or 
Quantal.... (maybe I'm wrong?) I will at least try to get Precise fixed, as it 
is a stable release and new users will go after the stable LTS, and that is 
what this bug is all about... we need the new users to have a way to run lmms 
without the terminal or Alt+F2, manually creating a .desktop file, etc....  It 
should just work.
Thanks again for the help!! (I know I say that everytime... but really I do 
mean it it would be much to  hard without other people)
