           Summary: sawfish doesn't start if a desktop file contains an
                    error
    Classification: Other
           Product: Sawfish
           Version: 1.6.x

            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal

     GNOME version: ---


If any desktop file should happen to contain an error, such as a leading
semicolon in the category list, sawfish won't start, and gives an error
about end of input (not naming the faulty file).

Although the desktop files should be fixed, it's not always possible
(e.g. a user might not have root access)...

Maybe the parsing could be made more robust?
