I have built a spec file for rasmol 2.7.5

http://www.five-ten-sg.com/rasmol.spec

based on an earlier one from Mandrake. It now builds and seems to run on
Fedora 12. This spec file clearly needs some changes:

1) There were some menu icon references to files that are no longer in
the package, but there is a rasmol_48x48.xpm image. What is the
preferred mechanism to create menu icons, where do they go, etc?

2) There does not seem to be much point in creating gui icons for this,
since it seems to be intended to run from a command prompt in a
terminal. The program uses stdin to read commands, and the data is then
displayed in a graphic window. Unless there is an easy way to create an
icon that launches a gnome-terminal which in turn runs the rasmol
binary, and allows the user to then type commands into that terminal
session.
