Bug Description

Leksah works if started from a terminal, but it doesn't work if started from the Launcher.
I guess this is a problem with how Leksah handles processes (process-groups).

 And you cannot search leksah from the dash, even you've installed it, nothing will show in the dash.

Got it to work on the laucher:

1) Created /usr/share/applications/leksah.desktop file:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Leksah
Comment=Haskell Integrated Development Environment
Icon=/usr/share/leksah/pics/leksah.png
Exec=leksah %U
Terminal=false
Categories=Development;IDE;Haskell;

2) found the newly created leksah Icon in Nautilus at /usr/share/applications directory and dragged it to launcher

Now when I click this icon in the laucher the Leksah IDE comes up.

Thank you. The problem is that the linux integration files (linux/ on github) aren't included in the tarballs that leksah release on hackage.haskell.org, which are the ones we package.

I forwarded this upstream at https://github.com/leksah/leksah/issues/14
