Summary:                    cmake-gui desktop file does not work as expected
Description: 
The cmake-gui.desktop file associates cmake-gui with CMakeLists.txt files,
but opening those files in a desktop file manager (nautilus or dolphin)
does not work as expected.  cmake-gui needs a directory path argument, but
the desktop file passes it a full path to the CMakeLists.txt file.

It appears that it is not possible the have the desktop file pass a
directory anymore.  Perhaps cmake-gui could be modified to take the dirname
of the argument if it is a file?
