Ah, seems the hint Bernhard gave me initially about that some distris are packaging each plugin in a different package had slipped from my mind again.

So right, that separate .desktop file as set for the shp plugin needs to be done for each of the plugins.
Will prepare a patch for that tonight or tomorrow, if noone beats me to it.
