From the Gnome 1.0.6 changelog...

* Dentry loader

           Owen Taylor added support for the desktop-entry loader to
           load KDE .kdelnk and launch KDE .kdelnk files.

           This will be used extensively by the next gnome-core
           release (scheduled for tomorrow, so you have plenty of time to
           compile this version :-).

Hrm.  There was frost here this morning ;)
