Hahahahaha! Real non-technical-user-friendly way to do things!

Easier to learn a basic text markup. Better still: provide a GUI tool 
for tweaking settings and have IT write the configuration file and send 
a call to the executable telling it to reload its config file.

But then, why doesn't the opendesktop standard have a good standard tool 
for creating/updating .desktop files?
