Downstream bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805937 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. (orig misfiled against Garcon: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8599)
Again the wrong bug ;-). There is a function for this, but some applications don't use it. You need to file it there.
ok. I can look and see if I can figure out what application isn't using the right function. Thanks for the pointer.
