 In Unity (Ubuntu) and GNOME 3, it is not possible to start Tor Browser
 through the graphical file manager. When double-clicking on `start-tor-
 browser`, an editor will pop-up by default.

 One user suggested through the help desk that we ship a `.desktop` file.
 In GNOME 3, users are prompted to confirm because it's an unknown
 application, but this is still much better.

 Here's a minimal `.desktop` that should probably be enhanced with
 comments, translations, icons:

 {{{
 [Desktop Entry]
 Type=Application
 Name=Tor Browser
 Terminal=false
 Exec=sh -c '"$(dirname "$*")"/start-tor-browser' dummy %k
 }}}
