Toby, the first thing to do is search your machine for any *.desktop files. e
should list any of your applications that have .desktop files, like e.g.
~/.local/share/applications/urxvt.desktop
There should be default .desktop files installed with any applications under:
/usr/share/apps/...
/usr/share/applications/...
and so on, unless OpenSuse does it differently (last time I tried OpenSuse was
a few years ago, so things would have changed since).
