-=== .desktop File Naming ===
+=== .desktop Files ===
 Plasma uses a "general to specific" naming system for .desktop files. Following this practice makes it easy to find entries in the file system and keeps things nicely ordered.

		+	=== Unique Naming ===
		+
		+	Since your plugins and packages will co-exist with everyone else's, it is a good idea to use a naming scheme that eliminates possibility of accidental name collisions.
		+
		+	In the examples below where it referse to [name], consider including an element unique to your project or organization in it. For instance, if your packages accompany an application, consider including the name of the application. Using an organizational or domain name are also possibilities.
		+
		+	For example, if your plasmoid was called "SuperWidget", the [name] might be:
		+
		+	* myapp_superwidget if it comes with the MyApp program
		+	* myorg_superwidget if it is associated with the MyOrg project/company/entity
		+	* net_myorg_foo_superwidget if the domain name associated with the plasmoid's origin is foo.myorg.net
