/**
 \brief Desktop files handling.
 XdgDesktopFile class gives the interface for reading the values from the XDG .desktop file.
 The interface of this class is similar on QSettings. XdgDesktopFile objects can be passed
 around by value since the XdgDesktopFile class uses implicit data sharing.

 The Desktop Entry Specification defines 3 types of desktop entries: Application, Link and
 Directory. The format of .desktop file is described on
 http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html

 Note that not all methods in this class make sense for all types of desktop files.
