[kde-linux] Where can I find documentation on ~/Desktop files?

For each icon that appears on the KDE desktop, there is a corresponding
program_name.desktop file in ~/Desktop.
Recently I found out it is possible to specify the title on the
application window Title Bar by adding a -title specification on the
Exec line thus:
Exec=/bin/win -title "Windows 98"
So far I have found only one reference that discusses the format of a
.desktop file at
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html
but it is incomplete.
For example, it says parameters may be added to the Exec line but
doesn't way which ones so the -title trick above is not even mentioned.
Is there anyplace to find documentation for the meaning of the various
lines in a .desktop file?
Thanks,
Larry
