If you check the opensuse tumbleweed mailing list (subject Folder view and 
prompting me when i click on an icon  (|Feb 10th)), i asked a similar 
question.  
It was a suspected regression but that wasn't true. Apparently this is a 
feature that the desktop ignored.  I didn;t have to change anything because an 
update fixed it.

This an answer provided by Wolfgang:

"The "regression" that Fabian mentioned is the feature itself, i.e. that it 
will ask you for executing .desktop files on the desktop and there is no way to 
mark them as "trusted".

I just noticed myself that dolphin 16.12.1 actually doesn't write this setting 
though, seems to be a bug in dolphin.
You can edit ~/.config/kiorc yourself, change "behaviourOnLaunch=alwaysAsk" to 
"behaviourOnLaunch=execute".

Or just tick the checkbox "Do not ask again" before you click on "Execute" in 
that dialog that asks you whether you want to open or run the file. ;-)

OTOH, as Fabian mentioned already, 5.9.1 should be in the next TW snapshot and 
contains a workaround that disables that confirmation dialog for desktop:// 
URLs specifically (i.e. .desktop files in the ~/Desktop/ folder, that are shown 
on the desktop)."
