Cool, thanks for caring.

Some nitpicks on the dialog:
* Could the key and the values in the Details be separated a little more 
visually, so they are easier to parse? Either by linebreaks and indention 
(cmp. a definition) or/and by some semantic highlighting.
* The term shortcut is only used once "(for example, if you created the 
shortcut)", as you otherwise do not use the concept of a shortcut in the 
dialog text perhaps it can be removed there, to not confuse the user. But 
then this concept if fundamental to the problem with .desktop files, so it 
might also be used in the "Warning" text? Not sure if one wants to have this 
implementation detail shine up to the user.
* s/it's/it is/

Cheers
