So in principle I can agree that making these fatal again will make people 
sort out the problems that they are flagging up. However, why is class 7 - 
.desktop files being "invalid" - a fatal error, considering there are many sub-
classes of "invalidity" being tested for with varying levels of significance?

(This has probably been discussed on the OE list before but IMHO it merits 
revisiting if so.)

Cheers,
Paul
