Hi,

Thanx for the list. I already found the spec and kde file.
One thing i can't find though is the part that makes multilanguage
stuff for desktop files working.. Those 3 source files all just grab
the Name value but where does it do the magic that happens when i set
my language to dutch.. then it grabs Name[nl] but where does it do
that? Asking that since the properties i proposed should have multi
language suppert as well..

And besides that.. I do want to implement it, but i'm getting the
feeling there isn't that much support for it thus wasting my time if i
implement it since it won't get accepted anyway. (which i rather
avoid).

It's just a feeling and i hope i'm wrong...

Regards,
Mark
