well, I scripted you one ;)

gaze from .desktop | grep '\.desktop$' >with_desktop

will give you all spells with install logs that did install .desktop
files,
including the files,
and

( ls /var/log/sorcery/install/ ;
gaze from .desktop | grep '\.desktop$' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq;
) | sort | uniq -u >without_desktop

will give all that did not.
(it is not a typo that I use uniq -u sometimes and uniq the other times.
all quotes are the regular backtick, ascii No. 39)

Could everyone please run those commands and send the output files to
e-type and abouter?

So Far,
  Karsten

p.s.:
e-type, abouter: collect the files with
cp collection tmpfile
cat tmpfile newfile | sort | uniq >collection

you can look for conflicts (spells appearing in both collections) by running
( cat with_desktop | cut -d: -f1 |sort | uniq;
cat without_desktop ) | sort | uniq -d
