I was trying to create a kde.lnk to my virtual desktop
/home/roman/desktop. When I selected it as an application, I was plagued
with all sorts of Mime type=...entry under user. It was if the kde
errors were asking me to fill out missing mime entry fields. I'm still
new to this. I wasn't sure how to add a link or shortcut to my virtual
desktop as an application or Mime entry link.
