Hi Jim, thanks for reporting the crash. The attached branch fixes the
issue.
I disagree on allowing to pass desktop filenames. The messaging menu
uses g_desktop_app_info_new, which follows the XDG spec for desktop
files. This is useful for distributors and users to override desktop
files.
Passing paths directly can also be misused easily: only correctly
installed applications should ever be shown in the messaging menu, so
that users can find the same application in the dash.

Easiest would be to copy the desktop file into
~/.local/share/applications/ temporarily. Alternatively, you could
restart indicator-messages-service with XDG_DATA_DIRS set to the source
path of your application.
