Please add a xmaxima.desktop file to the maxima-xmaxima
package such that it will show up in the kde and gnome

It should probably go to
/etc/X11/applnk/Applications/xmaxima.desktop
and look like

changing data type to feature request (instead of bug).
Finally getting around to updating this item ... a desktop file does exist now, so this request was indeed fulfilled.
