You *do* realize what you're asking, don't you????

Attached are most of my custom .desktop files. (I didn't include any
entries for programs under wine or vice.) There is a good probability
that some of these cannot be included verbatim into the GNOME sources,
but I'm including them here at the risk of gaining some correct
translation strings ;-)
