Comment 14 for bug 1191977

Some of the modules I've been using to parse .desktop files don't play nice
with nonstandard letters. Although I've tried hard to make it work, random
bugs always seem to creep in. Since I'm only an English speaker, I don't
get exposed to these very frequently. Now that I have some idea what's
going on I can try to reproduce and fix on my machine.

Best,
Ian
