[Bug 285639] emulators/fs-uae: Show icon in Applications Menu

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=285639

--- Comment #1 from Remko Catersels <sirdice@gmail.com> ---
Thanks for the suggestion, but I have several remarks regarding the proposed
changes. The fs-uae emulator itself was never intended to be directly started
from a desktop environment, the reason it has a (hidden) desktop entry is so it
can be used in conjunction with file associations, i.e. "Open with...". That's
why the Exec function of the desktop entry has a %f argument. You can double
click on ADF files and it would load the disk image with the emulator. The
fs-uae-launcher is supposed to be used from a GUI or desktop environment
(application menu for example). But it doesn't seem to create a desktop entry,
I don't know why, I don't maintain fs-uae-launcher. 

I also don't agree with the "Games" category. The Amiga was used for more than
just games. I do acknowledge that lots of people solely used it for games. But
it would be an insult to the legacy of the Amiga to categorize it merely as a
"games machine". It wasn't. As a long time Amiga user myself, I can attest to
that (I used my Amiga to get on the internet in the late '90s). 

I do think it could use a proper desktop icon to be used with a desktop
environment though, but it should be added to fs-uae-launcher, not here. I'll
see if I can figure out why it's missing there.
