Selinux is off on this system.

I guess we can close this case. The problem disappeared after logout/login.
All files in ~/Desktop shown.
Maybe pressing F5 would have helped (focus being set to the desktop first).
Another reason why a .desktop could not show is if the command it
refers to is not accessible (see the exec= and tryexec= lines).
