Yes.

Please understand this: the other desktop files are not installed into \
directories where other  environments would look. So what does it matter? \
One shouldn't check all .desktop files in the source code, but rather all \
-installed- desktop files in the standard directories (applnk and \
applications), excluding the kde-specific directories (services, \
servicetypes and mimelnk)

This is how Type=MimeType files work in kde3. The tool is wrong (but it \
doesn't matter since only kde uses such files).
