StartupNotify in .desktop spec?

[Michael Terry]

Hello.  I just noticed that the keys StartupNotify and StartupWMClass 
are not in the (apparently) most recent version of the .desktop spec 
posted at http://www.cojobo.net/~h_wendel/stuff/desktop-entry-spec.html.

I remember that there was discussion at one point that felt .desktop 
files were the right place to put this information, so I'm unsure why 
they are not in there yet.

In case it is due to a mere lack of a patch, I have included a patch 
below to put these into the spec (I note that GTK+ 2 applications 
support startup notification, but does a version of KDE yet support the 
xdg startup notification?  I couldn't tell by a quick google):

                if entry is swallowed onto the panel, this should be the 
title of window
