I would much prefer to have some sort of pluggable tabs for the 
properties dialog. We need this for several other things too, like doing 
ACLs on filesystems that support it. Adding some support for desktop-files 
into such a framework would be pretty trivial and would fit a lot better 
into our user interface.
