I agree with Tanner. Changing something like:

desktop-file-validate $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applications/gtali.desktop

to:

desktop-file-validate $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applications/g%{name}.desktop

... would be just silly. The %{name} macro is for the _rpm package's_ name and
even if a file name happens to coincide with the name of the rpm, it doesn't
automatically mean we should use the macro there. There are semantic
differences.
