Subject says it all.  Nothing's set in stone until we release ;) so if you 
have comments/suggestions for improvement/etc. please let me know.  The dialog 
is a bit different now than what I started on, hopefully this final version is 
enough to avoid "click-through": http://purinchu.net/dumping-ground/krun4.png  
I received some much appreciated feedback from seele (although any usability 
errors are of course my own).

Alexander Larsson is handling the same thing for GNOME, and they have changed 
their file view to only "sniff" for desktop files that are executable or in 
the system directory, and only files with a .desktop extension.

February/msg00132.html)

I think it'd be a good idea to continue further on and match that UI handling.  
Is there any reason we shouldn't?

Regards,
