[Pkg-tigervnc-devel] Bug#905905: Bug#905905: [tigervnc-viewer] Missing .desktop file and icon

[Ola Lundqvist]

severity 905905 wishlist
thanks

Hi

Thank you for the report and workaround. We will see what we can do about
this.

We need to adjust your workaround a little. For example the command should
be tigervncviewer instead of vncviewer. The rest looks ok to me.
We also need to install and remove and so on, but that is quite obvious I
guess (and no sudo needed in our case).

In any case, very good to know what we need to do about this.
