that's for GNOME 1.x (and KDE 2.x I suppose). The new one (GNOME 2,
KDE3?) includes some extra bits:
[Desktop Entry]
_Name=Glade Interface Designer
_Comment=GTK+ 2.0 GUI builder
Exec=glade-2
Terminal=0
Type=Application
Icon=glade-2.png
Categories=Application;Development;
essentially, it's the categories section, which allows to just have all
files in a single directory instead of having to create the menu
structure on disk.
The conversation in xdg-list@ I mention in my last mail was also about
extending this file, to support more properties.
cheers
