Isn't this a Gnome/Fedora issue?

Not sure. I haven't had this issue with other RPMs I install. Cinnamon Desktop is giving me the same issue. I'll open a bug with Fedora Project and see what they say.

Ok, I think I found the problem. The RPM is dropping them vnd.scribus.desktop file in /usr/share/application instead of /usr/share/applications, which is where all the other .desktop files are.

Confirmed. Manually moving the .desktop file into /usr/share/applications fixes the issue.

Assigning to Mrdocs, our code puts the file in SET(MIMELNKDIR "share/mimelnk/application/")

Just installed openSUSE 13.1 and Scribus 1.4,4 and it seems the issue still exists. There are also no 1.4.4 packages for Fedora. It looks like a number of mrdocs packages are failing to build.

FYI on my UBuntu 13.10, there is well a "scribus" desktop file in /usr/share/applications : it launches scribus 1.4.3 BUT when i type 'scribus' in the unity launcher, only my Scribus 1.5 compiled version appears.

 I confirm the bug is affecting Scribus from mrdocs repository. Version from Fedora repository is unaffected. I wonder if it is related to 0012708 needed by Gnome Shell.
You can view the spec file https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/scribus/sources/spec/
and compare.

By the way, Fedora 19 reached EOL a while ago. The bug is still present on Fedora 22.

luya, we just fixed 0012708 which could have an impact on this ticket.
Could you rebuild latest HEAD and test ?
Thanks!

 Updated to build 21218 which added appdata. Scribus icon is now visible on Gnome Shell overview even not installed.

See attached Screenshot 2016-04-26 11-50-04.png

Ignore the night build from the image, it is coming from the xdg-app version.

Edit: just made the note more clear

Luya, thanks for the update!

Questions:
>> Scribus icon is now visible on Gnome Shell overview even not installed.
What do you mean by even not installed

Luya, does this work for 1.4.x as well ?

Kunda,
on Overview mode from Gnome Shell, if Scribus is not installed, you can see Gnome Software icon on the left because of the available appdata file as seen on the screenshot. It is a feature from Gnome desktop environment.

I don't have 1.4.x on my system but the appdata should work fine on that version.
