Safety flag – almost done!

Related : Thunar !121

Interface for safety flag is almost done. A bit more polishing and it would be good to go.

Exo-Desktop-Item-Edit

exo-desktop-item-edit, which is used to edit .desktop files, removed metadata while writing changes. This caused permission bits to be reset without execution bit. It is now patched to preserve metadata (including safety flag and execution bit).

Support for safety flag

While fixing previous issue, I added an optional feature to support safety flag on exo-desktop-item-edit. Now if libxfce4util supports safety flag, .desktop file will be created with safety flag on.
