Just to clear up a possible misconception: *.desktop files are "plain text" files, and you can edit them in any text editor.

The format is, of course, open, and the files are used by many of the alternative desktops. (GNOME, KDE, BB, etc.) That's why many GNOME applications show up in the KDE menus, and (I believe, but I don't use GNOME much) vice-versa.
