This is to confirm that KDE 3.0 will indeed use the above scheme, and will be
introduced in KDE3RC4 (it's not in RC3). Most of our desktop-files will not
have a Comment field as a consequence, but I guess that's not a problem.
Where appropriate, some desktop files still have a "Comment" entry.
Owen, do you think you can include this in the Desktop Entry Standard and,
including the changes that we disussed earlier, publish this as v1.0?
Cheers,
Waldo
