 IMHO it'd make more sense to use desktop-launcher-$desktop (located anywhere 
in $PATH) instead of /usr/bin/desktop-launchers/$desktop (or whichever 
location you'd want). That way it'd be possible to do e.g. user install 
somewhere, with one specific location harcoded the functionality would be 
lost. User install of whole KDE may seem strange, but in fact I did it once 
(at school, in order to avoid using the CDE thing). And actually, this makes 
sense even now, as I have stable and development versions of KDE in different 
locations.
