Today finally I found the topic of "Desktop files" in section 1.36 of
Packaging:Guidelines  [1] 

I think desktop files deserve a page like others ( Packaging:Systemd or
ackaging:AppData  ) also we already got one draft page [2] and we should
add something about desktop integration, when upstream know what is
doing, like k3b [3], we got files in write place : 

%{_kde4_appsdir}/konqsidebartng/virtual_folders/services/*.desktop
%{_kde4_appsdir}/solid/actions/k3b*.desktop
%{_kde4_datadir}/applications/kde4/k3b.desktop
%{_kde4_datadir}/kde4/services/*.desktop
%{_kde4_datadir}/kde4/services/*.protocol
%{_kde4_datadir}/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/k3b*.desktop
%{_kde4_datadir}/kde4/servicetypes/k3b*.desktop 

ark is also a good example [4]

%{_kde4_datadir}/kde4/services/ark*.desktop
%{_kde4_datadir}/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ark*.desktop


but p7zip have many files of desktop integration [5] but aren't
packaged. I read somewhere this change from version to version on window
manager and change in each different window managers .
So IMHO we need a page with some help and guidelines on this subject.
