+ <para>Various settings are allowed to be specified
+ more than once, in which case the interpretation
+ depends on the setting. Often, multiple settings form
+ a list, and setting to an empty value "resets", which
+ means that previous assignments are ignored. When this
+ is allowed, it is mentioned in the description of the
+ setting. Note that using multiple assignments to the
+ same value makes the unit file incompatible with
+ parsers for the XDG <filename>.desktop</filename> file
