+long_desc="
+ The xdg-utils package is a set of simple scripts that provide basic
+ desktop integration functions for any Free Desktop, such as Linux.
+
+ They are intended to provide a set of defacto standards. This means that:
+
+  * Third party software developers can rely on these xdg-utils for
+    all of their simple integration needs.
+
+  * Developers of desktop environments can make sure that their
+    environments are well supported.
+
+    If a desktop developer wants to be certain that their environment
+    functions with all third party software, then can simply make sure
+    that these utilities work properly in their environment.  This will
+    hopefully mean that 'third tier' window managers such as XFCE and
+    Blackbox can reach full parity with Gnome and KDE in terms of third
+    party ISV support.
+
+  * Distribution vendors can provide custom versions of these utilities
+
+ If a distribution vendor wishes to have unusual systems, they can
+ provide custom scripts, and the third party software should still
+ continue to work."
