I am assuming this is on a "Handset" version of MeeGo, in which case,
the "Desktop" app is /usr/bin/duihome.
duihome does not search subdirs of /usr/share/applications last time I
looked (admittedly, it was a while ago). Things might have changed
upstream, but unless this was fixed and updated in a new package, I
suspect this is what you are seeing.
This is confirmed by the fact that your own testing shows that placing
it in /usr/share/applications fixed the problem ;)
Sounds like a bug to me... file it!
As a matter of fact, src/libmeegotouchhome/launcherdatastore.cpp:223
reveals what may be the crux of the issue:
updateQueue = QDir(directoryPath, FILE_FILTER).entryInfoList(QDir::Files);
Here you see that only QDir::Files are ever added to the update queue,
add to this that FILE_FILTER is a const defined as "*.desktop", and you
end up with a very strong candidate for the root cause.
