Were you logging into X as root?  That's generally a bad thing, and isn't
necessary for any purpose that I'm aware of.  Best practice is to login as a
user, then su - root as required.

Having said that:

*.desktop files are usually found in your ~/.kde and/or ~/.gnome2 directories;
they are the files that specify what appears where on your panel bar and
desktop.
