There is a nice workaround:
Just use something like :

Exec=sh -c "~/script1"

This will also help you on your second case:
Exec=sh -c "~/script1; ~/script2"


The first feature request seems to be used very seldom so I won't add
it in my fork. If more people think this would be helpful I can add it
pretty easy but as there is that workaround it doesn't seem that
important.

The second feature request is against the desktop specification from
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-l
atest.html#exec-variables

"The Exec key must contain a command line. A command line consists of
an executable program optionally followed by one or more arguments."
