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.
