It validates .desktop files. If installed Gentoo uses this to print an elog 
message for .desktop files that doesn't follow the specs. Obviously it only 
helps Gentoo if you make sure it gets reported at bugs.gentoo.org whenever 
you encounter messages about invalid .desktop entries in packages in the 
tree...
