Icon is missing because there's no 'Icon=' line in .desktop file. The binary is called 'marco', try launching it from cmd.

You can look which files are in installed pkg with 'rpm -ql <pkg>'. Or if pkg isn't installed you can use 'urpmq -l <pkg>'.

Comment 2 Jani Välimaa 2014-01-09 19:39:12 CET

Forget what I said earlier. Menu entry you see must come from some other pkg as .desktop file from mate-window-manager contains 'NoDisplay=true' which should hide it from menus. Also, there's no 'Window Manager' entries in this .desktop file.

I see mate-menu-editor is not installed by defaut.
