Part of the issue with the desktop files is that someone of some them
try to execute multiple lines of shell script in them which can always
create issues.

It would be much better if desktop file calls only emacsclient
and it takes care by itself if DISPLAY is set and doesn't use sh.

Can Emacs handle file:/ URI's? If so simply changing from %F to %U would
be an option.
