Bug Description

While looking at the packaging of pkgme for the hib games I noticed that quite a lot of them expect to find their data relative to the current working directory. One easy way to archive this is to set "Path=/opt/the-path-to-the-pkg" in the desktop file.

I think we should do that as it dosn't hurt and helps in a lot of cases.
