Agreed.  I was only using this bug to show that some people use
apps-wrappers.  I was making a case for 'recommends.'

Yes - one of the problems of using apps-wrappers.   A better solution is
required, like using .desktop entries.

But these won't work with gworkspace without a wrapper....

OK - This seems to be a problem only with gworkspace-0.7.0.  It works
fine when I downgrade.   Would you be able to check this?  It still
might be a local error.
