Xastir gets deployed across multiple operating systems, including
Solaris, MacOSX, Windows, FreeBSD, Linux, and a few others at times.
Just on the Linux/Unix variants it may get used under a variety of
Window Managers as well.

So...  Which operating system are you talking about, and which
window manager?  Do other window managers also use a *.desktop file?
I'm not familiar with it.

FWIW I'm using OpenSuSE-10.0 and the FVWM2 window manager.  I don't
generally start Xastir from menus anyway, preferring to start it
from an Xterm or an Rxvt so that I can see any error messages
generated.
