I'm not a competent KDE guy, but I'm from kde@ so I'll try to give my answer.
First thing first: a discussion about the problem was actually
started, as you can see, but never went on. It should be discussed on
desktop@, by the way.

KDE .desktop files are installed with +x by default (as noted in my
email on that thread). Still, it appears that we have a problem (check
last mail on the thread) which I'll try to solve.

That's something I'd like to handle via the desktop@ initiative (hint:
the same for icons, mimetypes, and fonts, at least).
