Dear maintainer,

currently tetrinet-client does not supply a desktop and menu file and
no desktop and menu icons. Hence the game is not well integrated into
the user's desktop environment. Please consider helping to improve the
desktop integration of games in Debian.

Please refer to the empire package for a ncurses-based game that already
provides desktop and menu files and to

Regards,

Markus

Hi,

since tetrinet came up as a candidate for the Bug of the Day I had a
look into this bug.  While writing some desktop file would be possible
its not really helpful for the user, thought.  Before simply clicking
on the menu entry users need to make sure the server is started and
also need to give some NICK as command line argument.  Since all this
is not really convenient I'd rather tag this bug wontfix.

Kind regards
   Andreas.
