Constructor
GioDesktopAppInfonew
Description
Creates a new GDesktopAppInfo
based on a desktop file id.
A desktop file id is the basename of the desktop file, including the
.desktop extension. GIO is looking for a desktop file with this name
in the applications
subdirectories of the XDG
data directories (i.e. the directories specified in the XDG_DATA_HOME
and XDG_DATA_DIRS
environment variables). GIO also supports the
prefix-to-subdirectory mapping that is described in the
Menu Spec
(i.e. a desktop id of kde-foo.desktop will match
/usr/share/applications/kde/foo.desktop
).

file with that id exists.
