Just realised it was KDE which changed my .desktop shortcuts from using full path in 'Path' to substituting /home/user with $HOME in the Properties dialog. In fact ONLY KDE3 seems to understand such notation, e.g. Gnome will fail to recognize "Path=$HOME/something" and only works with absolute paths.

So I guess KDE complies with the standards for not understanding such notation. The patch I am attaching fixes the Properties dialog to always use full path when modifying a shortcut.

However shortcuts previously modified with KDE3/KDE4 will still have Path broken.
