I think so. I don't have GNOME / KDE on my system (just Fvwm). But the Gtk / KDE programs seem to put their ".desktop" files in /usr/share/applications. (Doing "locate .desktop" showed mainly files in /usr/share/applications. However there were a few in some service directory corresponding to plugins). If you'd like to take a look, at the rest of them, I attach them (21k). GI -- 100 THINGS I'D DO IF I EVER BECAME AN EVIL OVERLORD 29.
