I don't know what they do. For example, if you set a gedit launcher, you
see gedit %U. Why should gnome append the %U to the command? Very
Strange! Who can tell me the reason. or Where can I find the reason in
detial?
Thank you.

I know that they are used at least in the case of DnD, although I'm not
sure what each letter represents. I'm quite sure %U is URL, so when you
drag a file for example onto the launcher, it calls the command and
passes the file location as a URL to the command.

Thank you very much, Chris. You make me step more to the truth. But how
can get information about these things? I cannot search it through
google because google can not accept '%'.
I suspected these options were specified by the freedesktop standards,
so I took a quick look into them.
First off, http://freedesktop.org/wiki/ is the main fd.o site - have a
look as it has lots of documentation on the subject. Here is a direct
link to the section in the desktop entry spec the covers what you want:

hope that helps
