examples.desktop file in jaunty home folder

[fcuk112]

new install of jaunty, i spotted this file in my home folder. its contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Link
Name=Examples
Name[es]=Ejemplos
Name[fi]=Esimerkkejä
Name[fr]=Exemples
Comment=Example content for Ubuntu
Comment[es]=Contenido del ejemplo para Ubuntu
Comment[fi]=Esimerkkisisältöjä Ubuntulle
Comment[fr]=Contenu d'exemple pour Ubuntu
URL=file:///usr/share/example-content/
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=example-content

what does this file do?

That example doesn't really do much (just a link to the Examples directory), but for an explanation of .desktop files, see this thread:
