: Thanks in advance...  Shekhar.

Best place to look for this information is freedesktop.org:

    http://www.freedesktop.org/

If it's not in any standard or draft standard, choose the most
appropriate mailing list there.  Also, see this message from one of the
GNOME mailing lists, which came up in the search <google:freedesktop
"Desktop" ( directory OR folder )>

    http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-December/msg00424.html

Good luck.
