I think Goswin knows what files are meant here. But I really do not
understand, why he is trolling against them. (Espcially with such
arguments, that I have an hard time to suppress my wish to use the 
same and requesting the removal of all .desktop files. ("I do not need
them, they are a waste of space and bandwidth and anyone using them is
stupid."))
