when I click on the .desktop directly from dolphin, it opens the program fine, but immediately deletes the .desktop.

This is extremely bizarre, and not at all expected. It sounds like there is a serious issue on your machine, either some kind of misconfiguration or even filesystem/disk corruption. If your files are deleting themselves when opened, *nothing* is going to work properly. I'd recommend checking the hardware and following up with the Debian folks for further troubleshooting. Thanks!
