>Document the DesktopNames key as the mechanism by which
>the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP environment variable is expected to be set.
>
>We don't document this as a key in the normal way, because it is not a
>valid key for desktop files.  We only include a mention of it here
>because the desktop entry spec is more or less the "home" of what
>XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP means, and the mechanism by which it is normally set
>should be part of that definition.
