The upstream tarball, found here: http://gtablix.homelinux.org/files/gtablix_0.0.9-13.tar.gz actually contains one, but for some reason it isn't in the Ubuntu package or the .orig tarball.

Attached is a debdiff adding the .desktop file. Please review.

Just some little comments:

 - Please remove "Application" from the the Categories list and let the description start with a verb (and preferably it should explain what you can do with the program, not what it is); if the value of Name could be a bit more descriptive too that would be awesome (look at the menu entries of the packages which come by default for reference, eg. "Firefox Web Browser", "OpenOffice.org Text Processor", etc).

 - It isn't necessary to add /usr/share/applications to debian/dirs (dh_install will take care to create it itself).

 - By the way, the syntax to close Ubuntu bugs is just "LP: #xxxx", not "Closes LP: #xxxx".

Thanks!

Finally forwarded to Debian. Should have done that long ago. No reason for use to be carrying this delta.
