[moneydance] .desktop file out of date?

Hello,

I've just tried installing Moneydance.desktop on Debian Etch using
desktop-file-install but ran into some problems:

1. The file was missing "Encoding=UTF-8" line so it was completly rejected.
2. The file also doesn't contain a Vendor string so I had to specify this on
the command line as "Reilly Technologies" (not sure the space in the name is
a good idea - it becomes part of the installed file name).
3. Once I added it - I couldn't find it anywere in my Gnome menus. I tried
adding "Office" and "Application" categories by specifying them on the
installation tool's command line but still no go.
4. Now as I type this I see that I could just double-click the .desktop file
from the graphical Gnome directory browser and it'll launch Moneydance
properly. I also can drag that file icon to the Gnome panel and it'll stick
there. There is still the problem that the icon seems to be a bit out of
size vs. the other icons, though.

Thanks,

--P
