Then, we'll have to pop up a dialog when it's noticed that says
basically, "The following .desktops have changed, what do you want to

On the merge subject, some sort of diff GUI dialog would be needed,
telling the user what has changed and deciding if they want to have the
changes made in their personal entry.
