Hi Daniele,

thanks for looking at this. As said in the twclock thread, I'm not
using .desktop files, so I cannot say which of these are real issues
and not just syntax details, but we should try to get them fixed.

Do you want git access on https://salsa.debian.org/debian-hamradio-team ?
Though we should also try to avoid having to carry these around as
patches forever, so submitting upstream is probably even more
important.
