bombadil-gui 0.3.4

//! The desktop entry Bombadil writes for itself on Linux, every start.
//!
//! GNOME on Wayland ignores the icon a window carries and takes it from the
//! `.desktop` file whose basename matches the window's `app_id` (see
//! `window_settings`). GLib drops an entry whose `Exec` program does not
//! exist, so one written once by `just install-desktop` breaks quietly as
//! soon as the binary moves or is renamed, and the window goes back to the
//! placeholder icon. Writing it from the running binary keeps `Exec` true
//! for every way of installing Bombadil, `pip` and `cargo install` included.
