Thanks so much for your submission!

Recently a new FreeDesktop.org specification[1] has been approved for providing desktop-agnostic shortcuts. The Quicklist documentation has been updated to coincide with this new spec[2].

Since this is now an official standard, and will benefit environments other than Unity, we encourage you to change your code to match. This will require the following changes:
1) Change "X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts" to just "Actions"
2) Change each section from "[<action> Shortcut Group]" to "[Desktop Action <action>]"
3) Remove "TargetEnvironment=Unity"
4) Change your Name= entry to use Title Case[3] (capitalizing important words)

Please update this merge proposal with these changes so they can be included in the upcoming release of Ubuntu. Please also make sure you submit them to the upstream developers so they can be included there in future versions.
