When I look at examples for creating .desktop files, it's recommended to 
use the full path to the binary. One practical advantage to this is when the 
--prefix is changed when running `./configure`.  For example, if I use 
`--prefix=$HOME/.local`, Geany will show in my desktop menu, but even though 
$HOME/.local/bin is already included in my PATH, Geany won't execute 
because the `Exec` line in the desktop file is simply 'geany'.

I included some other trivial changes in this PR to make more practical use of 
the new 'geany.desktop.in.in' file.
