[Mark Oteiza]

branch: emacs-26
commit b719f6b20ba00c86d860be113d8a842bc384f2df
Author: Mark Oteiza <address@hidden>
Commit: Mark Oteiza <address@hidden>

    Loosen strict parsing requirement for desktop files
    
    There are other desktop-looking files, for instance those having to do
    with MIME typess, that would benefit from being able to be read by this
    function.  It helps to have some flexibility.
    * lisp/xdg.el (xdg-desktop-read-file): Remove an error condition.
    * test/lisp/xdg-tests.el: Remove a test.
