Hi there,

You might want to have a look at this wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Howtos/DesktopFiles because it's explained there everything about .desktop files.

Some notes for the current .desktop file, even though I'm no expert:
1. Remove the Encoding line because it's deprecated.
2. The Comment should start with a verb.
3. About the Categories field, please look at http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html and choose a category from there.

Unfortunately this will not be fixed in Intrepid because it's too late.

I changed the status to 'Confirmed', please set it to 'In progress' and assign the bug to yourself if you're creating a patch to be included in Jaunty.
