The current debian/fityk.desktop file does not validate correctly
using `desktop-file-validate`. Attached is a patch, currently applied
in Ubuntu, that will fix this problem. Patching the file will let
Ubuntu drops all of its changes and sync directly from Debian.

Current output from `desktop-file-validate`:

fityk.desktop: warning: key "Encoding" in group "Desktop Entry" is deprecated
fityk.desktop: error: value "False" for boolean key "Terminal" in
group "Desktop Entry" contains invalid characters, boolean values must
be "false" or "true"
fityk.desktop: error: value "True" for boolean key "StartupNotify" in
group "Desktop Entry" contains invalid characters, boolean values must
be "false" or "true"


Hmmm, I am not actually using the incorrect debian/fityk.desktop but the one which ships with the upstream tarball. This one is correct and validates fine. Consequently, I am thinking that htis is not really a bug at all, just a question of a leftover file which has an old format.

I should remove the debian/fityk.desktop as it is no longer used and it clearly causes some problems. Once I have done that, I will close the bug on the next upload (after lenny).
