well, by default (see Makefile.config) the icons are installed to
$(PREFIX)/share/pixmaps/emelfm2/
and the desktop integration files are installed to
$(PREFIX)/share/applications
if gnome or kde or whatever searches in $(PREFIX)/share/applications
for .desktop files, it should also search in
$(PREFIX)/share/pixmaps/emelfm2/ for icons.
the only way around this would be to generate the .desktop file when
building e2 so i can include the correct prefix and then use an absolute
path.
maybe it's the best to leave desktop integration up to package
maintainers for the different distributions because they probably know
best where to install the menu files and stuff like this. eg, take
debian, it doesn't need these files because they have their very own
system to generate desktop integration files for packages.
