Speaking as part of KDE team which is part of freedesktop, I would
specifically like to see:
* xdg-basedir-setup
* fdo-mime_desktop_database_update
* fdo-mime_mime_database_update
* gnome2_icon_savelist
* gnome2_icon_cache_update
I understand the GNOME team had some ideas too (I saw a mail but it
didn't end up on the list here), so hopefully they will chime in as well.
