For SleepyHead to show up in most desktop environments menu system on GNU/Linux it must have a .desktop file. I've included one you can use if you like. It should be placed in /usr/share/applications and a high quality icon in /usr/share/pixmaps

    Not really a bug, but probably worthy of an extra paragraph to the README that accompanies the SH source code.

    Creating a launcher on Ubuntu is described in the 'Build from source' guide. http://sleepyhead.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Build_from_source#Installing_.debs_for_Ubuntu_Natty_.2811.04.29

    I suggest adding the following text to the README.

    "Desktop Linux users requiring an icon to launch SleepyHead should refer to their distribution's documentation on how to do so.

    Typically, this will require the creation of a special launcher file: /usr/share/applications/sleepyhead.desktop .

    The SleepyHead Icon Graphic can be found in this source distribution as sleepyhead/icons/bob-v3.0.png . It may also need to be copied to /usr/share/pixmaps to be located by your desktop environment."
