Sounds reasonable. (Although I'm not sure if you period you quoted is part of the Comment, or just part of your sentence... ideally, Comments shouldn't end with periods.) Please also run desktop-file-validate on the .desktop file to check for any other issues-- in particular, the format of the Icon field, which should not require a full pathname or a filename extension, if the application icon is correctly installed in one of the standard system icon directories. (Ideally, it should be installed in /usr/ share/icons/hicolor/<size>/apps, but /usr/share/pixmaps is acceptable as a last resort. If it's installed anywhere else, other desktop themes won't be able to override it, which is an accessibility issue.)
