Uhmm, *.kdelnk sounds like kde1 remnants. Try to put your special *.directory
files into /usr/share/apps/kdesktop/DesktopLinks. Every new user that has no
~/Destop/ directory will get a copy of them

Check ~/.xsession-error. If your cp commands complain you will find the
error msgs there.

Don't do it ~/Desktop/.directory contains the icons positions. Better IMHO
put the default for new users into /usr/share/apps/kdesktop/DesktopLinks
and send the long time kde users a mail to tell them to
cp /usr/share/apps/kdesktop/DesktopLinks/* ~/Desktop/
if they want you use your fondly collected Desktop setup.

To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
