Apps without desktop files

Hi there,
I talked to Cory about that a while ago and now finally managed to
actually make this list which just should be every audio app that has
no .desktop file.
I don't know much about the other areas and can hardly say what needs
what in that area.
The freezes could use confirmation and the apps should get tested on
hardy.
I hope that I'll find time to test alpha4 or a daily, but no promises
since I didn't manage to run them with qemu or virtualbox yet.

I used this list for gutsy:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/PackageList

ubuntustudio-audio:

meterbridge:
it has a .desktop file but has 5 runmodes and should thus either get 5 menu entries or start in a terminal emulation

bristol:
needs a .desktop file, should be started in terminal using the command 'startBristol'

swami:
just needs a .desktop file

tk707:
needs a .desktop file, check if it is usable at all. In my case the font was so small I could hardly read it.

shaketracker:
needs a .desktop file, always freezes my machine on startup

Tapiir:
needs a .desktop file, freezes if started with --alsa, works if started with --jack

denemo:
needs a .desktop file



Mostly cli apps that should get covered in the documentation in some way to lead the user to the app and give him an introduction (reference to manuals, short description, whatever, depending on the app):

jdelay
jack-tools
csound
linuxsampler
lilypond


Best Regards
