+### Please describe the problem.
+
+I tried now for hours to understand why the filemanager inegration is just not working.
+Debug output in Assistent/Install.hs is basically none existent so I don't even know if anything is run at all.
+There is no dedicated process to get the .desktop files etc created or an example that you could use if the process fails.
+I'm out of ideas now.
+
+I tried running with GIT_ANNEX_PACKAGE_INSTALL=1 and without, tried to ensure directories exist. 
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+git annex assistant
+
+
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
