All the desktop file is is a datafile that contains information about the 
current folder view.  99% of the time you dont need one, but in my case i 
have different folders with different properties, such as wallpapers, or 
views depending on the contents.  example: my source directories usually are 
in a list view, while my digital photos are usually in icon view with 
previews.  i usually have previews turned off because they slow things down.

These are just here for properties, and lucky KDE will only write them if you 
use them.
