Thanks, it looks very good and works fine on GNUstep. However, there
seems to be something inconsistent (unrelated to your changes):
In GNU Emacs 23.0.60 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, NS gnustep-gui-0.12.0)
of 2008-10-22 on gana.yavor.doganov.org
Windowing system distributor `GNU', version
103.110.117.115.116.101.112.45.103.117.105.45.48.46.49.50.46.48
On GNU and Unix-like systems GNUstep uses X, so I find this very
strange and of course not informative at all. I haven't checked why
`x-server-version' is so bizarre in this case, but probably you know
already.

Well, I can't decide anything since I'm not an Emacs developer ;-)

GNUstep Base is fairly stable and complete, and I guess so is Apple's
FoundationKit (which is the main reason why gnustep-base is in such a
shape, of course). I guess the reasoning to include it in
`emacs-version' is if it helps with bug reports. Although there were
some very nasty bugs in -base (even recently), it is more or less
mature. Time will tell, I think.

IMHO this is entirely useless for GNUstep, because:
1) Typically, GNUstep users do not use freedesktop.org-aware
environments such as GNOME/KDE/Xfce.
2) Even in the rare cases when they do, the .desktop files must be in
$(datadir)/applications (or ~/.local/share/applications) in order
to be parsed, loaded and to show up in the menus.
3) The file is invalid (this can be fixed, certainly, but it is a
general problem with all standard GNUstep apps where the pl2link
tool generates broken .desktop files and puts them in the wrong
place).
