GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 703375
aisleriot.desktop file is missing.
Last modified: 2013-07-01 13:34:57 UTC
According to this bug [1] the desktop file has been dropped in newer aisleriot releases. Anyway further investigations under ubuntu and aisleriot 3.6.2-0ubuntu1 shows no problem at all in launching two different games at the same time [2] sol -v klondike & sol --freecell & sol -v klondike & sol --freecell & can this file be included again?

It's not 'missing', it simply has been removed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 681645 ***
Sorry Christian I know this has been removed. I'm asking for a RE-inclusion. Seems to be the reason for removal doesn't exist anymore.
It seems you're misreading the reasons for the removal, it's a policy decision, not a technical problem as the launchpad bug seems to imply. It's not coming back; but you can create your own desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications either manually or with a menu editor (alacarte).
I was reading " * You can't run the games at the same time (as you would expect to)" that bug is fixed. For the other two I didn't think they were so important. Anyway thanks for the answer
