Assuming that blindly overwriting a conf-file like above is ok, a
so-called here document can be used in order to cut down on the amount
of "syntactic decoration", eg,

cat <<TT >"$launcher"
[Desktop Entry]
Categories=Application;Network;
$line
$comment
GenericName=Netman
Icon=netman.ico
Name=Netman Network Manager
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Network;
TT

NB: I think this is correct, however, I didn't test it this time. It's
reasonably simple and Edward would just claim that it corrupted the
harddisk partition table, anyway ...
