Another incomplete entry:

MUST: Packages containing GUI applications must include a
%{name}.desktop file, and that file must be properly installed with
desktop-file-install in the %install section. If you feel that your
packaged GUI application does not need a .desktop file, you must put a
comment in the spec file with your explanation
-----
and from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Desktop_files

If a package contains a GUI application, then it needs to also include
a properly installed .desktop file.

Both statements are ill-defined for packages that install multiple GUI
applications. A packager can install only 1 .desktop file for his
package which contains 3 GUI applications and he can say that he
obeyed all the guidelines. And unfortunately, he is right; the
guidelines do not force him to install more than 1 .desktop file.
