I and other Bookmark+ users use it often.  It should continue to be simple for
users to use multiple desktop files, located anywhere.  The code should make no
hard-and-fast assumptions regarding location etc.

I have not followed this thread, so I don't yet know whether any changes being
proposed would break my code.

I'm just confirming that using multiple desktop files is useful.  (In Bookmark+
you can have desktop bookmarks - "jumping" to one switches to that desktop.)
