Like the general idea.

Works for me.  Though, this will now force people to split config into files
to be able to describe them.  Some type of grouping in a file would be a good
idea perhaps?

Would be really bad for app startup time.  Also, I don't think we want to
maintain those.  Figure out what the Desktop files are doing.  I think they
used to have them all in the XML, but there was work on moving them to gettext
domains.  Eg, an attribute in the description or fontconfig element would have
gettext domain, and app will use that.

Not sure how to best implement.
