How will this fare with Gnome DO?

I’ve solved problem in bzr…

GRunner will exclude every desktop file that does not present “Exec” string (that is not an application), at least for now.

2. drag the tiny icon just left of the URL bar onto your linux desktop (this will create a new .desktop file which has a pipe in both caption and filename)
3. run grunner.exe
4. crash

I found out why your program crashes on my machine. It’s because the program cannot handle items on the desktop which have a pipe (|) in the caption text or maybe in the filename.

If I do this:
