This seems to be an error from upstream .desktop files:
https://groups.google.com/group/razor-qt/browse_thread/thread/9555a74cf7188ad2
It's fixed in newer versions by commenting out the "TryExec", which
(even if it works -- it doesn't for me when modifying my .desktop
files by hand) is not very optimal, since then one has entries for
window managers not really available in the system:
https://github.com/Razor-qt/razor-qt/commit/bc8148c5e7741de9400f7436f188e178a51b5b96
I guess that this is a duplicate of #653327 , due to the following
line having several arguments:
Exec=razor-session -w openbox
Comments?
Cheers.
