Description
After making "python setup.py build && sudo python setup.py install" deluge has no icon and entry in applications menu. All icon and .desktop files are placed to /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/deluge-1.3.900_dev-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/share/ which seems to be wrong.

I was following deluge's development since around r3300 and now you tell me that i either should stop or change distro to continue? And to add custom translations i now should manually replace files that are under control of package manager?

I agree, I was going to re-open this once I got home, which now I am. git-bisect to the rescue me thinks, see if this was something recently introduced.
Zarbis, are you using master or 1.3-stable?

I've noticed this as well. I just tried building from master today (2010-12-12) in amd64 Ubuntu maverick 10.10. Missing icon in Applications menu, and "sys-tray" status icon was showing up as missing as well.
My /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/deluge-1.3.900_dev-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/share has this in it:
applications/ icons/ man/ pixmaps/
Copying (merging) these with nautilus into /usr/share did the trick for me.

This has to do with Ubuntu's default installation path so you need to add an argument to the install command:
python setup.py install --install-layout=deb

I will add update wiki with this detail.

Reopening as my previous comment doesn't actually do what I thought.
Turns out that install is putting those files into the package and not as expected in the system dirs. This originated after removing the custom install class from setup.py.
The workaround for now is to run the following after install:
sudo python setup.py install_data

Building from source is not designed for specific distros, that is what the Deluge Ubuntu PPA is for.
