Comment(by rudloff@…):

 Bluefish integrates very well if it is built with Quartz. It uses the OSX
 menubar, the  shortcuts, drag and drop from Finder. So having a bundle
 makes it feel even more like a native app.

 The [http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ desktop
 entry] is needed to open files with Bluefish from Thunar, Nautilus, etc
 (it makes it appear in the "Open file with" menu). I think it is also used
 for Xfce and Gnome Applications menu.[[BR]]
 Most GTK applications install one, but for some reason Bluefish doesn't.

 Would it be acceptable to add the bundle for the ''quartz'' variant only
 ?[[BR]]
 I personnaly use a lot of GTK/Quartz applications daily (Thunar, Pidgin,
 Transmission, etc) and having a bundle is really a nicer way to open
 applications than having to open the terminal.
