.desktop files in /usr/share/applications and /usr/share/applnk are not
identical. So there is only one 'right' location depending if it follows
'old' kde desktop files rules or new 'xdg' rules.
Of course the prefered way (tm) are now xdg compliant desktop files.
That has the advantage that at least in gnome all kde apps should have
an icon without adding 84 times xpm them in debian specific .menu files ;)
(A kde desktop files has normally also much translations)

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.
