Dear melchiaros,

thank you for your feedback on our packages.

Indeed, fastdnaml, tree-puzzle, and the fastlink programs do not start when
launched from the freedesktop menu in GNOME, and therefore probably in KDE and
XFCE as well (not tested).

Since the programs can still be started from the command line, I have
downgraded the severity of the respective bugs.

The freedesktop menu entries could be corrected by making them start a
terminal, but I think that it goes against the vision of our GNOME maintainers.
I propose to replace the freedesktop menu entries by Debian menu entries
similar to the one of boxshade for instance.  The Debian menu can be made
accessible in GNOME by configuring the freedesktop menu.

Have a nice day,
