xdg-related commands/vars/settings/etc affect most desktop
environments.  They were created so that packages could be configured
once and work correctly on any desktop environment, rather than having
to separately configure desktop entries for kde, gnome, xfce, unity,
etc.  I think freedesktop.org documents all the gory details.
