Title:
  libindicator desktop shortcuts should create a GAppinfo from
  commandline

Status in Libindicator:
  Fix Committed
Status in “libindicator” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “libindicator” source package in Raring:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Use of a hack to generate shortcuts instead of the dedicated function.

  [Test Case]

  Not known, the hack seems to work but is not optimal.

  [Regression Potential]

  The code affected is the generation of indicator shortcuts.

  ---

  We currently generate the GAppInfo to launch the shortcuts using an
  hack by generating a fake .desktop key-file in memory and then
  building an AppInfo from it. This is not needed, since
  g_app_info_create_from_commandline can do everything that we need.
