Well, you want to use .kdelnk .desktop, but it's a completely different
format. Kde/Gnome to build his groups by the directory, something like

./Applications/Productivy/
When menu specify an entry like
section=Applications/Productivty
and after the update-menus will create for gnome/kde (or nothing for

Like Peter said it's not only for X11 but also for console application
(but well it's launched via a $xterm -c "" so it's semi X11).
