Description Alexey Morozov 2005-12-06 08:14:49 MSK 
To actually get a \ in .desktop-file (e.g.

Exec=wine "C:\Program Files\2gis\Nsk\grym.exe"

) one needs to quadro-escape it: \\\\ (e.g. command="wine \"C:\\\\Program
Files\\\\2gis\\\\Nsk\\\\grym.exe\""). Otherwise the resulting .desktop file is
incorrect

Это специально сделанная фича для поддержки переноса строки еще со времен MDK.  
Т.е. extra_opt="Terminal=false\\nType=application" будет разворачиваться  
в .desktop с переводом строки.
