In KMyMoney we do it this way (Makefile.am):

install-data-local:
        $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(kde_datadir)/kmymoney2/
        $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/kmymoney2ui.rc 
$(DESTDIR)$(kde_datadir)/kmymoney2/kmymoney2ui.rc
        $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(xdg_appsdir)
        $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/kmymoney2.desktop 
$(DESTDIR)$(xdg_appsdir)/kmymoney2.desktop

with the xdg_ vars set as follows after configure:

xdg_appsdir = ${datadir}/applications/kde
xdg_directorydir = ${datadir}/desktop-directories
xdg_menudir = ${sysconfdir}/xdg/menus

I have no idea, if it works or not. We never had any complaints that it 
doesn't - so no news is good news in this case ;)

If there is a better way (hint to documentation), I am interested as well.
