Icon for tor

The Tor Browser Bundle I downloaded came with a .desktop file in the to-level directory. IIRC, I just copied it to ~/.local/share/applications.

On closer look, you can do that automatically by just passing the --register-app command-line option to TBB. I don't remember whether or not I did this.

>I never figured out why there is no icon for the tor browser and no option to have tor browser added to your launcher menu.

Menulibre (it's in your repo) is awesome for both the things you talk about. You can achieve the same manually, menulibre just makes it straightforward with a nice and intuitive graphical user interface.

I solved this by following this guide: http://cialu.net/blog/how-to-install-tor-browser-fedora-ubuntu.html

For the record, I used this method:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:micahflee/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install torbrowser-launcher
