    Try running the desktop file from the terminal, so you can get more diagnostic info

    if foo.desktop try gtk-launch foo

    or kioclient exec <path-to-desktop-file>

    or kfmclient exec file:/root/Desktop/cdrom.desktop

    If that doesn't yield something more than just flashing screen, try prefixing with strace
