The .desktop files I changed and why.

This one is recommended only for people who have direct rendering setup.

Icon=astromenace.png
Terminal=false
Categories=Game;ActionGame;
StartupNotify=false
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.13
What I Changed
I bypassed the astromenace-wrapper and removed a couple of options specified to the wrapper. I also added the Path= line.
Why?
The wrapper and the options where removed to allow the playing of astromenace in fullscreen, and at resolutions other then 640x480. The Path= line was added so astromenace would launch at all without the wrapper.
EDIT: This also solves a problem where your mouse is stuck at it's last position at the end of a level. Making it impossible for you to continue.

Only needed if you are using leigh123@linux's compiz-fusion packages, and you want emerald to be themeable.

MimeType=application/x-emerald-theme;

X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.13
What I Changed
Just the icon line. It is unnecessary to specify /usr/share/pixmaps prior to the icon name, as long as the icon actually goes in /usr/share/pixmaps.
Why
Specifying the absolute path to the icon file makes in unthemeable.

Just ridding myself of a minor annoyance with wings.

What I Changed
Terminal= used to read true. I changed it to false.
Why
It is silly to have a random terminal open, unless you actually have a problem with an application.
Anyone who wishes to is free to post any .desktop entries they changed from the defaults. Please follow the above formatting and give reasons as well as actions.
