1) "launch_x_executable.desktop" launches executable files:
- start: Launches apps which need no parameters to start.If shared libaries are missing or aren`t in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH first an error message is shown and afterwards the missing shared libraries.
- start -> second try: If normal start failed this shows error messages or missing parameters (aside from: "floating-point
exception").
- show help -> -help : Shows helptext if parameter of application is "-help".
- show help -> --help: Shows helptext if parameter of application is "--help".
- show help -> --help-all: Shows helptext if parameter of application is "--help-all".
- show dependencies: Shows shared libaries needed by the application.

3) "launch_x_jar.desktop" launches java applications.
4) "konsole_directory.desktop" opens konsole for selected folder.
