Yes, this is:
http://publictest7.fedoraproject.org/rpmgrok/rpmlint/invalid-desktopfile
Unfortunately the db doesn't capture the errors from
desktop-file-validate itself. I wonder if there's a way to do this.
IIRC rpmlint doesn't emit this output anywhere.
(fwiw all these tests were done with desktop-file-utils-0.10-7)
Unfortunately I guess your list contains not a few false-positive errors.
For example, I checked fedora-alexandria.desktop with desktop-file-utils-0.10-7
(this is Fedora core 6 desktop-file-utils) and actually I get the error:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ ./desktop-file-validate /usr/share/applications/fedora-alexandria.desktop
/usr/share/applications/fedora-alexandria.desktop: error: required key
"Encoding" not found
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
However the key "Encoding" is now deprecated and with Fedora 10
desktop-file-utils
(0.15-3.fc10) including Encoding key is warned like:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ desktop-file-validate ./fedora-alexandria.desktop
./fedora-alexandria.desktop: warning: key "Encoding" in group "Desktop
Entry" is deprecated
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
