Details

Description:
When installationg TrueCrypt through pacman, the software installs fine, but no *.application file is included in the package. The only way to run truecrypt is from the command-line.

Other distros that include the truecrypt package, from what I've seen, include a *.application file in |/usr/share/applications|, while Arch does not.

Additional info:
version = 6.3-1

|pacman -Ql truecrypt| output:
truecrypt /usr/
truecrypt /usr/bin/
truecrypt /usr/bin/truecrypt
truecrypt /usr/share/
truecrypt /usr/share/licenses/
truecrypt /usr/share/licenses/truecrypt/
truecrypt /usr/share/licenses/truecrypt/License.txt

(no files are places in /usr/share/applications)

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -S truecrypt

Then try to find a TrueCrypt application item menu in your applications list, for whatever window manager you use.
This task depends upon
