Re: rewriting local apps menu code

I don't think command line parameters aren supposed to be included in
the "TryExec" line of .desktop files.
"TryExec" in the .desktop files are what the DE should look for in order
to show or not this menu item. Meaning, if a .desktop file contains
"TryExec=myapp", then gnome looks for "myapp" in the path, and if it's
not there, it doesn't display the menu.

So, TryExec should either
* be removed completely from the resulting .desktop file,
* or modified to "TryExec=xprop" without parameters,
* or even better, if the exact application path is known, to
"TryExec=/opt/ltsp/<arch>/path/to/bin", not involving xprop at all.
(this would require finding out the chroot directory _and_ the chroot
PATH and looking for the application in it - I don't think it's worth
the trouble)

Kind regards,
Alkis
