Bug Description

When installed the gnome-mahjongg package creates a desktop file at /usr/share/applications/mahjongg.desktop. That file contains the following line:

Exec=gnome-mahjongg

Since that binary is in /usr/games, and most users do not have /usr/games in their path, clicking a menu item that uses that desktop file fails. The simple solution is to use the full path name in the Exec line.

/usr/share/app-install/desktop/gnome-mahjongg:mahjongg.desktop which is installed by app-install-data has this same problem.

Thank you for your bug report. Most users do have that directory in their path, it's part of the default path on Ubuntu...
