One problem left: on my machine at home, it still doesn't work, and I 
checked out the installed file. It looks like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=openMSX Catapult
Comment=Graphical interface for openMSX
Type=Application
Exec=%INSTALL_BASE%/bin/catapult
Icon=%INSTALL_BASE%/resources/icons/catapult.xpm
DocPath=%INSTALL_BASE%/doc/manual/index.html
Terminal=false
Categories=Application;Emulator;Game;

I think something has gone wrong with sed: the INSTALL_BASE shouldn't be 
there. Possibly the desktop system checks whether these values are sane 
and ignore the entry if they are not.
PLease check this.
