Actually, I think it's emacs that shouldn't have a .desktop file of
its own.  If you run emacsclient from its .desktop file, it will open
a file in an existing emacs if one is already running or start one if
not.  It seems to me that this is what most users would want, and
those that don't are probably already starting emacs from the command
line or via a wrapper script or somesuch.
