Hi Lyes,

I agree, there is no point having a .desktop file as it relies completely on
command line options to operate eg

   lavalauncher -b
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/org.gnome.Terminal.svg gnome-terminal -b
...

We could _force_ it to use a .desktop file like xfce4-appfinder's with
something like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Exec=lavalauncher-wrapper
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;
Name=Application Finder

and script up lavalauncher-wrapper to look for configurations in the first of:

~/.config/lavalauncher/config
/etc/lavalauncher/config

with the latter provided by the package then run it with 

lavalauncher $(cat $CONFIG_FILE)

... at least it would avoid going to the committee.

But honestly, I have no idea what to put in the /etc config file to be
universally useful and I think it's properly against the point of lavalauncher.
And just because I _can_ do that does not mean that I _should_ do it!!!

There are precedents for this - eg rofi and wofi etc are GUI applications (also
application launchers) but do not have .desktop files. zenity too.

On balance, I agree with you and I definitely do not want to put a desktop file
in there.
