Desktop-file parser is still broken

[ximion]

The broken parser produces funny applications like "Open in Fullscreen" instead of "Stellarium", because it does not respect opened sections in the ini-style format. For example, take a look at the "stellarium" package, which ships stellarium.desktop: https://packages.debian.org/sid/stellarium The current output of the generator is:

So in these cases, should we generalise that we only read the [Desktop Entry] block ?

[ximion]

Yes, the other blogs are not important for the metadata (yet - maybe we can do something with that extra information, but that's not in the spec and nothing is planned so far).

I have made the changes and pushed the commit.

Thank you, but the implementation of the whole parser is still not good... Something based on ConfigFile would be much better (I'll probably change the whole thing soon).
