Hi oui ...
make a new file named lyx.desktop in /usr/share/applications
open it and add:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=LyX Document Processor
GenericName=Document Processor
Comment=High level LaTeX frontend
Exec=lyx %F
TryExec=lyx
Icon=lyx
StartupNotify=false
StartupWMClass=Lyx
Terminal=false
Categories=Office;WordProcessor;Qt;
MimeType=text/x-lyx;application/x-lyx
To show a icon, it require a icon named lyx.png stored in /usr/share/pixmaps
Well done, HMA!
Oui, you can try
Icon=/usr/share/lyx/images/lyx.png
And you can put this file to ~/.local/share/applications instead of /usr/share/applications if you don't want to change system files with root access. This will install application launcher (.desktop) to only this user. Create hidden folder ".local" in your home folder if it not exists, and other needed subfolders.

I think, we'll add this .desktop file to lyx package soon.
