it should contain the name of the application. For example
Mozilla Browser.
One more note: as far as I can see Gnome makes no use of GenericName.

So even in English I'm not sure it's always possible to choose a Name
and GenericName pair that can both make sense when looked at
individually, and when concatenated.

being a mechanism that is not used by KDE. But specifying that each
desktop environment should use a different mechanism does not sound like
a good ideag.

We are now tracking applications usage to build stats and present the
user with the most used apps. For this, we identify windows
the window name/class? Why not enumerate running
processes to identify which binary is running? From that binary it seems
like you could get back to the package name if needed.

if a filename contains a space and the parameter is
%f, that is it already has enclosing double-quotes? (or enclosing
single-quotes for that matter)
I believe that the current practice is to do what's expected, that is
still make sure the filename is correctly quoted.

without a +x bit set; those too can be executed by doing 'sh script.sh',
same as .desktop files with a different parser.
A .sh file that does not have the +x bit set cannot be run by clicking
on it in a file browser or on the desktop.
A .desktop file does run in that case.

Wow. Does the spec allow this?
I believe

treated as a don't trust marker.
Which is kind of the opposite of its normal meaning which can be taken
to be 'I trust this file enough that I am willing to execute it'.

Looking at XDG_*_DIRS and checking which directories are writable is
easy enough and essentially what Jeremy proposed. But that's not what
the specification says an ISV should do. The new
was to, as its name implies,
make things standard, not just across Gnome / KDE / ROX, but also across
Linux distributions: we have the FHS and LSB for basic system packages
and FreeDesktop for all desktop oriented things.

If you want to make the standards standard, they all need to work
together,
not disagree with each other all over the place.
Agreed.

. To avoid that, one must double the ampersand. But then
one gets '' in Gnome.
The Desktop Entry Specification says nothing on the subject. Hence the
question:
Which of KDE or Gnome is right?
