Public bug reported:
The "Desktop Entry Specification" says about the "Exec" key in .desktop
files (in http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-
spec/latest/ar01s06.html):
If the application should not open any file the %f, %u, %F and %U field
codes must be removed from the command line and ignored.
gnome-control-center doesn't do that but calls the command with the "%f"
still in the command line. This leads to errors when adding a program to
the g-c-c that takes an optional file parameter.
