        Or, perhaps, add a "LongName" field to the .desktop file,
which would default to being "Name"? I suspect programmers who
actually put a Comment field in the .desktop files imagine these
strings being in a tooltip balloon, not the menus themselves.

        I also like the idea of being able to find out what the
Exec field is somehow by right clicking or some other means.
