Description Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2005-08-24 21:51:21 UTC 
add API similar to g_set/get_application_name(), in order to store the
application's desktop entry file name, in order to be retrieved using
g_key_file_load_from_file/from_data_dirs().

this could be useful to indirectely retrieve application's metadata, such as the
supported mime types, or the application's default command line for opening files.

Hmm, I'm not convinced that this adds sufficient value. 
We won't be able to implement it meaningfully on Windows, and it really just
stores a string.

I think we can close this bug.
