Re: .desktop file for emacs

[Richard Stallman]

    I am not sure I understand your question. Let me restate what I was
    trying to say: a file called emacs.desktop would be installed in 
    /usr/share/applications. 
    It seems that files in /usr/share/applications are parsed and used to
    fill in the menus that appear at the top of the desktop in Gnome.

Now that I understand the idea, it sounds like a good thing to do.
Would someone like to implement this?
