I was thinking more of something along the lines of '#!/usr/bin/run_desktop_file'. Desktop files are equivalent to shell scripts anyway. The only thing missing is that one cannot use them transparently because exec() does not know what to do with them. This limits their use to a few Freeesktop-aware applications. Adding the above line and making _trusted_ desktop files executable would fix this oversight.

Hmmm... Of course, "launching" a desktop file could be done by simply executing it, then, which makes quite a bit of sense.
