It would be nice if you could use env variables like $HOME or such in desktop files... there's nothing I can see off hand about this in the spec however.

Again the wrong bug ;-). There is a function for this, but some applications don't use it. You need to file it there.
Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2012-03-26 17:40:43 CEST
ok. I can look and see if I can figure out what application isn't using the right function. 

Thanks for the pointer.
