The attached patch includes and installs the (lightly modified) .desktop file.

Why did you add Application to the Categories field, Emmet? I was under the impression it was deprecated now...

Thanks for the patch :)

The spec seems to have changed since I last looked. Thanks for letting me know. I've attached a new patch without the "Application" tag.

Are you guys sure about this? I don't get apps to show up in Applications menu without an Applications category? Thanks.

At least "Application" is not included in http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html, although there is no guarantee that Dapper is currently compliant (and the latest is still draft, so there may be some contention).

I added Application category back in for now to get it to show up in the menu. Uploaded. Thanks.
