Looks the same as mine, except I have full paths.

Yes. I only have KDE, so I've put the file in /opt/kde/share/applnk/Databases. Unfortunately this doesn't want to work. If I add the icon using the menu editor, an almost identical desktop file is created which works fine. Looking on the net tells me this is the right thing to do, however it seems like I need to kick KDE into re-reading the files (a restart doesn't help).

Any ideas? BTW, the desktop file is in pkg/slackware/pgadmin3.desktop
