The problem inly seems to be with hyphens in the directories. Hyphens in the file itself are fine. See the screenshot - Might and Magic 4&5 has had a desktop file installed under a subdirectory with a hyphen, whereas Heroes of Might and Magic has a desktop file in the root directory but contains a hyphen in the filename. The latter is shown correctly, but the desktop files in the former directory are not shown properly.
