The freedesktop spec speaks of various escapes and special characters within .desktop files but it doesn't explicitly seem to talk about shell expansion. I've observed that moblin-panel-applications doesn't seem to expand them. For example, if you have "Exec=my_file_man $HOME", my_file_man is run with the literal argument $HOME.

I suspect that moblin-panel-applications is doing the correct thing but I thought someone here might have better knowledge of the spec.

cheers,

Kris
