<pre>this is a tough one as it maybe broken either way, but binary_to_desktop_file
currently follows symlinks of the binary file passed in, which in the case of
firefox on openSUSE ends up pointing to /usr/lib64/firefox.sh, which in turn
leads to it searching for "firefox.sh" in the desktop files which is not found.
The line in question is
binary="`readlink -f "$binary"`"
maybe this is a bug in firefox's desktop file (exec'ing a symlink rather then
the binary) but either way I thought i'd look for a second opinion on which is
more right.</pre>
