Package: desktop-file-utils
Version: 0.15-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

Desktop-file-validate warns about reserved keys or values for KDE in the 
Desktop Entry group regardless if the --warn-kde option is given or not. One 
would assume that these warnings are suppressed if desktop-file-validate is 
invoked without the --warn-kde option.
It also complains about groups which begin with "PropertyDef::", for example:

  error: file contains group "PropertyDef::X-KDE-Name", but groups extending
  the format should start with "X-"

But this extension is used by (at least) KDE3 service types, see: 
http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Development/Architecture/KDE3/Services
Maybe desktop-file-validate should also suppress these errors unless 
the --warn-kde option is given.

Another issue is that desktop-file-validate does not complain about commas 
used as separators in lists (in the latest Desktop Entry Specification the 
use of commas as separator is marked as deprecated in favor of semicolons).

Thanks,
