</div>Yes, it would have been, but this isn't a supported character...<br>
see last section of <a href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s02.html" target="_blank">http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s02.html</a><br>

IMHO we could also add more allowed characters to the spec, but experience tells me<br>
that trying to get stuff into the desktop entry spec is pretty hard. Maybe at the next freedesktop<br>
meeting, when we have more people involved with that...<br>
<br>
(KDE supports any character in there, and uses '\' for escaping, and even supports \x2d escaping).<br>
