Well, it should not be too bad to standardize on names if we do it
through freedesktop.org.  Besides, adding keywords is only useful if
people know about them and can use them, so I do not see a huge
incentive to add a bunch of crap.

But I agree that looking for and managing the .desktop files is a pain. 
Indeed, the code would suck.
