QT does not build clickable Icon, but can be launched from terminal #87

I was able to successfully git clone the new repo and compiled it just fine, however there is something wrong with the QT. It either doesn't build right, or the system can't properly read the file type. I can't double-click it like other QT wallets, however if I launch ./redddcoin-qt from the terminal it opens the QT wallet just fine.

You can see from this screenshot that the QT doesn't properly display as it should.

If I try to double click it this is what I get:

Any thoughts on what might be going on here? This is a fresh OS install of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Thanks @Stoner19. What is missing in the .desktop from the installation. in BItcoin space, this is quite a manual process of editing and copying files around.

I have updated the installation directions

Perfect, thank you for updating the documentation in order to build the .desktop app.
