Description

I run the installer as root and I get to the panel for creating shortcuts. I select "all users", but it does not work. The menu entry get created correctly and placed into /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged, but the desktop file does not get placed into /usr/share/applications. It instead gets placed into /root/.local/share/applications.

I did not see that createForAll is defaulted to false for the Unix spec file. Adding an entry and setting it to true made it work just fine.
