9 It validates .desktop files. If installed Gentoo uses this to print an elog
10 message for .desktop files that doesn't follow the specs. Obviously it only
11 helps Gentoo if you make sure it gets reported at bugs.gentoo.org whenever
12 you encounter messages about invalid .desktop entries in packages in the
13 tree...
