I had the same problem with Precise Beta 2. I want to add, even "sudo apt-get 
purge rhythmbox" wouldn't delete those desktop files.
I have found the reason why they were created, at least in my case: I edited 
some menu entries with the program "alacarte", so for example I hid Rhythmbox 
as I didn't want it to show up in Unity. With the de-installation of the music 
player those files weren't deleted. Even deleting the menu entry inside 
Alacarte, where I created/modified it, didn't delete the entry at 
.local/share/applications. So Alacarte is to blame here. I think I found the 
corresponding bug report for it: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alacarte/+bug/340285 There is even a 
patch attached to solve the problem.
I can't recommend the use of Alacarte any more after watching its bug tracker :(
