I would like to better understand how .desktop files work. They are in

If I read for example writer.desktop I see that the second exec command
(at the end of the file) use the hard coded name libreoffice when the
first one use ${UNIXBASISROOTNAME}. Is it intentional ? Indeed, even
after installation of LO (upstream, build at home) I do not have any
libreoffice command on my system (Ubuntu 13.04).

The second one is for unity quicklist integration (the small popup menu you get
from the dash on the sidebar). It indeed might only work if you use the
Debian/Ubuntu provided packages (which you should anyway, if you want system
integration) as those surely provide a 'libreoffice' executable in the default
path.

Hi,

FWIW I filed an Easy Hack wrt to this:

 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70553

while Unity _should_ be able to read the old format, moving to the new one
makes sense anyway.

Best,

Bjoern
