The first two options might be valid for D-Bus and dbus-daemon, but they can't
be for the desktop file specification since there are multiple processes
processing them, which means a wide variety of CWD and of installation
prefixes. Desktop files should be predictable, so I'd suggest we go for the
third option: relative to the file itself.
