Hi

regarding .desktop file, some distros are adding translation for other 
language.

For example in hatari.desktop, there's a "Comment[fr]". Maybe we could 
add more translation ?

Also in pythonui.desktop, you use :

Comment=Run old Atari ST/STE/TT/Falcon software

There used to be a patch in Mageia to use instead :

Comment=External user interface for Hatari
Comment[fr]=Interface utilisateur externe pour Hatari

Maybe we could use something like that to emphasize that pythonui is not 
the emulator itself but a frontend ?

Mageia does some change for python :

https://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/hatari/current/SPECS/hatari.spec?revision=1542383&view=markup

40 	# Remove shebang from non executable scripts
41 	for pyfile in dialogs.py hatari.py uihelpers.py config.py
42 	do
43 	  sed -i -e '/^#!\//, 1d' python-ui/$pyfile
44 	done

-> it seems you already did this in sources

46 	# Fix interpreter
47 	for pyfile in tools/atari-convert-dir.py 
tools/debugger/hatari_profile.py tools/hconsole/example.py 
tools/hconsole/hconsole.py python-ui/hatariui.py python-ui/gentypes.py 
python-ui/debugui.py
48 	do
49 	  sed -i '1s|/usr/bin/env python|%{__python3}|' $pyfile
50 	done

-> this replaces part of shebang by direct path to python3 I guess. 
Don't know if there's something standard for that and if it's necessary ?
