Hum... OK .desktop allow we to personalize folders for now.
But what if we haven't write access to folders we want to personalize ?
My NTFS Windows partition is read only : I can't apply icons on those
folders (I store some musique and files to have them comonly on Windows
and Linux), and even less view options.
So, .desktop has limitations (and, as that was already said, we must
configure this for all subdirectories, and aren't allowed to apply
options according to theire contents).
