This is not really a TeXmacs bug if you use the static binary version (instead of an official package).  Every Linux distribution and window manager comes with its own conventions for hand-made launchers.  You could ask on the mailing list or forum.  Maybe someone knows the answer.

There may be a chance to fix this as a user --- I do not know how-to, but if you post on the forum or on the mailing list you might get a solution there. So if I were you I would post on the forum (or on the mailing list) :-)

Hi

I installed texmacs with static binary version, by os is kubuntu20.04, it works fine, but I can only run texmacs from command line. There is no texmacs in launcher. I tried to add a texmacs.desktop file to my ~/.local/share/applications as below, texmcs shows up in the launcher, but when I choose it, it just flash and disappear and no response later on. So what should I do to launch texmacs from launcher?

```
