willing to accept this SRU for Precise ecause of the Impact there.

Impact
------
Cinnamon (and the less popular EDE and LXQt) desktops are not recognized by
desktop-file-validate in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or 14.04 LTS.
This is a problem because the very popular Travis service for continuous
integration (CI) on platforms like Github still uses 12.04 LTS. Travis
- offers a beta for 14.04 LTS. This caused this pull request to fail its
- CI check:
+ does not offer a 16.04 platform and the 14.04 platform is still only in
+ beta. This caused this pull request to fail its CI check:
https://travis-ci.org/zdohnal/system-config-printer/builds/222023750
+ https://github.com/zdohnal/system-config-printer/pull/41
Test Case
---------
1. Save the following lines in a file named calc.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Calculator
Exec=gnome-calculator
Icon=accessories-calculator
Type=Application
OnlyShowIn=Cinnamon;LXQt;EDE;
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;Calculator;
2. Run
desktop-file-validate calc.desktop
The command should complete with no error message.
A failure would look something like:
calc.desktop: error: value "Cinnamon;LXQt;EDE;" for key "OnlyShowIn" in group
"Desktop Entry" contains an unregistered value "Cinnamon"; values extending the
format should start with "X-"
Regression Potential
---------------------
This only adds a few entries to the list of registered desktop environments.
This change is backported from desktop-file-utils 0.23 which is in
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
