Description Gerald Teschl 2000-10-30 10:12:48 UTC 
Desktop files containing

Exec=foo %f

will open foo as "foo file" if "file" is dragged onto the icon.
This does not work under gnome. Moreover,  one will get
a "Could not open %f" error from foo.

This is rather unplesant if one installs such desktop entries
under /etc/X11/applnk. They'll work fine under KDE but
not under Gnome.
