The trouble is that the .desktop syntax is to add %U for the url opened
by the application. It cannot be both
  Exec=gnash /usr/share/gnash/gnash-splash.swf
and
  Exec=gnash %U

A quick and dirty way to handle that would be to modify the gnash script
such that the first arg is $datadir/gnash/gnash-splash.swf if there is 
no arg at all.

What do you think about that?
