Hi there! I built this earlier and it went well - but I did have to do one manual tweak to get everything working.

While the vpinball-launcher.sh that gets downloaded is executable, the package installs it 644 - so it's not executable and Gnome then skips over adding an icon for the app. As such I ended up doing the following to get it to work:

sudo chmod +x /opt/vpinball/vpinball-launcher.sh
sudo update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor

I think if you changed the following line in the PKGBUILD:

install -Dm 644 "${srcdir}/vpinball-launcher.sh" "${pkgdir}/opt/vpinball/vpinball-launcher.sh"

To:

install -Dm 755 "${srcdir}/vpinball-launcher.sh" "${pkgdir}/opt/vpinball/vpinball-launcher.sh"

Then everything would work right first time.

Hope this helps & thanks for maintaining the package!
