I'm getting mad: from the .desktop spec
"historically this has been a comma separated list. This is inconsistent with 
other lists which are separated by a semicolon. When reading a pre-1.0 
desktop entry, comma separated lists should continue to be supported."

So lists should be separated by semicolons [;] and not by commas [,]...
I'd like to fix this all, but I want to be sure about what to fix:
1) make the standard specify that comma is the standard delimiter for lists 
and modify all the lists that are using semicolons
2) convert all the lists to ";" (right now ServiceTypes is not conform to the 
standard) and modify parsing in related classes

I really prefer the first one
