Are you sure the file isn't malformed? The desktop entry specification[1]
says "The Exec key is required if DBusActivatable is not set to true". I'm
not seeing much wiggle room here. :P
I don't care if it is malformed or not as long as it suits the purpose.
To clarify.
Since there's no executable to use for the Exec key here, we have
2 alternatives:
1) ship .desktop file without Exec= -- to have an icon for various
qemu-system-* processes started from command line, as it is done
now
2) close this bug by removing the "malformed" .desktop file and do
not have an icon for qemu-system-* processes
The .desktop file is used for two purposes: for a running application
to have an icon, and to run an application. There's no icon displayed
by desktop environments without a desktop file. Since qemu don't ship
an application to be run from a desktop file (and no dbus service
either), I can't fill this field. But I need to specify which icon
to use.
I guess this issue should be redirected to freedesktop.org.
