No, that’s not (only) it. A .desktop file:
* Puts a launcher in the Applications menu so you can launch the application.
* Optionally, associates an application with a set of MIME types so
you can open documents with that application from your file manager,
mail client, and other applications.
* Optionally, associates an application with an URL scheme so you can
open URLs in that application.
A simple .desktop file only has a single command line defined. It is
also possible to define multiple actions with different command lines
and supporting launcher GUIs will expose those actions to the user,
but etc/emacs.desktop in current master does not use this capability.
