Any plans to implement writing a .desktop file to disk?

I have thought about it. I think its possible to implement without changing the existing API, however the keyfile parsing part is going to need to support keeping things like comments intact (they are currently ignored) and keeping any relative ordering of groups and keys.

I will probably complete work on the desktop-launch branch before I turn my sights towards writing desktop files though.

Any input or pull requests are welcome!

I have meditated on the code a bit, and it looks to me like some changes in API would still be required. Locales, possibly lots of them, that need to be read in, preserved and written.
