Linux desktop entry
Hello!
I have request for small thing. Could You provide official desktop entry (.desktop file for menu) for vendetta-online?
The most important part of this, in my opinion, would be official icon for vendetta-online. Other things would be easy to create.

Is that a standard? Ie, across KDE, Gnome, and everything else? I'm a little out of date on my linux stuff. If it is, we can look into that. Although I thought the icon did show up for some WMs.

@Incarnate:
Yes. Most implementations now follow it decently as well.

Not only .desktop files are now standard, they also can be used to automatically generate menus according to information provided in each specific .desktop file.
That file is easy to do, You can even get any example .desktop file from most of the packages (kde, gnome, xfce ones) to check them.
From my perspective the biggest problem is official icon.

what's wrong with VO's icon?
Shipping a .desktop file with ven would be kinda tricky. I once tried to make one that would work in all cases, but it never really worked right because ~/bin isn't always in the path and you can't use ~ as a shortcut for the homedir. So it'd have to be generated at installation time.
Already tried to replace ~ with ${HOME}?
Where it is?
At least, it is not present in linux installer.
