As spot requested, here's an update to the wording of:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/DesktopFiles
to make it clear that desktop-file-install usage is mandatory to help
ensure .desktop file safety and spec-compliance.

Hello,
I think mentioning vendor-id is useless, since now fedora packaging
policies doesn't include "fedora" as vendor name .

Uh, yes it does:
"If upstream uses <vendor_id>, leave it intact, otherwise use fedora as
<vendor_id>."
That part of the policy remains unchanged.

Hmm, so if kde adds its desktop files at /usr/share/applications/kde,
I should consider the vendor be "kde" here ? and leave the desktop
files at /usr/share/applications/kde instead of
/usr/share/applications ?

Make sure you respect this: « It is important that vendor_id stay constant for
the life of a package. »
If I understood well, it means that, if one of your package use an "incorrect"
vendor_id, you should keep it incorrect.
