--- Comment #22 from David Edmundson <k...@davidedmundson.co.uk> ---
>1. Patch Plasma by reformatting now-invalid desktop files to be valid

Most the malformed desktop files come from hand-written users. 

The problem with any migration after-the-fact is that by the time this lands
all affected users would have fixed their desktop files anyway.
If this had been reported in the year when systemd was exclusively opt-in I'd
have a different attitude but now it's in diminishing returns if there's any at
all.

>2. Patch systemd-xdg-autostart-generator to not be so strict

There's a few separate issues discussed here. 
 - false/False. I reckon upstream would accept a fix for that. Worth a go.
 - "~" expansion. This is 50/50. The spec doesn't explicitly say it'll expand.
 - Invalid Exec lines. This would definitely be rejected upstream. It's not
systemd doing stricter parsing, it's KDE doing something additional and yolo.

>I don't think we have the option to do neither and call it not a bug.

I will try the above two changes in systemd. I can change kmenuedit to be
clearer on the Exec line. We can leave 455889 open. 
After that I don't think we have any sensible option on this bug other than to
close it as downstream.
