I would like to declare the Desktop Entry Spec to be "1.0" after
proposing and including changes related to the following issues that
have been brought up on this list:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2006-April/008012.html
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2006-June/008248.html
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2006-May/008132.html
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2006-April/008090.html

I will propose patches to the spec for review for these issues over the
course of this week. If there are additional issues that should be
clarified before the "1.0" release, please speak up now. Goal of the 1.0
spec is to reflect existing practice by current implementations.

The current version of the desktop entry spec is 0.9.5 and can be read
