I have a few boxes here with ubuntu installed. On my main box gnome
are in my locale, norwegian, but the folder ~/Desktop is named
~/Desktop. Here the installation was fine. It also installed itself in
the menu tree under grafikk.. (my locale name)  Very nice.


On other system with gnome in my locale and Desktop named Skrivebord,
dispcalgui creates a new empty  ~/Desktop folder, and put the file
dispcalgGUI.desktop there. It means it doesn't work. The menu entries
are however still correct.

However, I don't think it's necessary to create four entries in that
menu. If every program should install a GPL licens entry it would be
rather messy in the menus. The readme file is accessible from the
program so it's unnecessary to have in the menu too. Since there was
an option  "add to package manager" in the install process the
uninstall menu entry could be removed to.

On my sytem the packagemanager  removes the /dispcalGUI folder, but
the menu items are not uninstalled. When I run the uninstall script
directly it removes everything. Since the packagemanager calls up your
uninstaller, the only difference I can see is some visual blinking in
the end of the uninstall program that does not appear when it called
from the packagemanager.

I will also suggest adding a few pre defined presets. I guess all the
options can be overwhelming for many of us.
