Intel Software Desktop Environment Menu Integration

[Rene_Oertel]

Dear community,

I've created some Linux desktop files hopefully useful for integration of the Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015 GUI tools in the common desktop environments menu through desktop entries. The files are published under public domain.

Feel free to edit and enhance the files as necessary. At the current state, they only use existing data (logos and scripts) from the default installation.

I have some notes for the Intel Software packager:

1. Please add a more useful Icons to the default installation, e.g. in xpm format
2. Distinct between XE and non-XE logos if necessary
3. Create larger logos for actual desktop environments, i.e. 256x256 at least or as SVG
4. Add the desktop-files from above to the default installation

Best regards,

René
