[izpack-devel] "All users" shortcuts under Linux

[Marc Eppelmann]

Hi Loïc, 

Thank you for your hint.
The lack of the IzPack Shortcuts with Gnome ar more or less well known - but 
not analyzed nor fixed.
There are/is no dedicated IzPack-Part-Maintainer for the Shortcuts, to my 
knowledge. I initially wrote a part of the Linux Code. But unfortunately I 
havn't just so much time to fix the issue. But if you provides applicable 
patches which solves the problem, in uniform diff format, I will commit these 
after review. 


Cheers
Marc
