Oops. I should really test stuff before I commit it :/

When a Launcher applet finds an empty or invalid file, it should now
prompt you to edit the .desktop file, instead of just stopping. Update
your sandbox and let me know if it's still broken.

I've also added an "Add" item to the context menu - should work now.

Will do. Can I check that you're using wget? I'll restrict against URI
and path.

We already have "official" (as in, they're in the main distribution's

a bit behind. Perhaps you can talk to the maintainer and co-ordinate
with him/her to keep it up-to-date.
