Thanks Rex,

Any opinions on the other items - like running desktop file install 
(which fails):
+ mkdir -p 
/home/davidt/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/tnef-1.4.6-3.fc11.i386//usr/share/mimelnk/application/
+ desktop-file-install 
--dir=/home/davidt/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/tnef-1.4.6-3.fc11.i386/usr/share/mimelnk/applications 
/home/davidt/rpmbuild/SOURCES/vnd.ms-tnef.desktop
/home/davidt/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/tnef-1.4.6-3.fc11.i386/usr/share/mimelnk/applications/vnd.ms-tnef.desktop: 
error: key "MimeType" is present in group "Desktop Entry", but the type 
is "MimeType" while this key is only valid for type "Application"
/home/davidt/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/tnef-1.4.6-3.fc11.i386/usr/share/mimelnk/applications/vnd.ms-tnef.desktop: 
error: key "Exec" is present in group "Desktop Entry", but the type is 
"MimeType" while this key is only valid for type "Application"
Error on file "/home/davidt/rpmbuild/SOURCES/vnd.ms-tnef.desktop": 
Failed to validate the created desktop file
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.s0UHb2 (%install)

Am I doing it all wrong, or is the validator not versed in this type of 
.desktop file ?
