Description David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2008-07-29 17:35:32 UTC 
It would be useful to 

 - know whether a desktop file is deletable
 - be able to delete a desktop file

specifically since there's a concept of "user defined" desktop files. Right now we have no API for this. Thus I propose we should add the following API

 g_app_info_can_delete()
 g_app_info_delete()

We need API like this to add a Delete button in the "Add Application" dialog

in Nautilus.
