Linux, system wide installation isn't done correctly

[avlapp]

When running the install script as root, the *.desktop file is placed in /usr/share/applications. I think that should be /usr/local/share/applications or /opt/.....

It seems to be fixed in the new IDE install:
arduino/arduino-ide#641
arduino/arduino-ide@b4db350

Processing seems to have this issue as well. Both install scripts are very similar.
processing/processing4#308 (comment)

So is this resolved?

[avlapp]

When I install both Arduino and Processing in /opt using the default install scripts, when Arduino launches, it displays the Processing icon in the taskbar. Odd.

Interesting, could you provide the screenshots and the installers you used. I think I can help since I have had a similar issue before.

Thanks for your report @avlapp

That is great news. This means we can consider this resolved by the Arduino IDE 2.0.0 stable release.
