I haven't set resynthesizer up for a linux/debian system. For Windows, resysnth.exe or resynthesizer.exe (depending on which version you are using) goes into the .gimp-2.6/plug-ins folder. There are two .scm files, smart-remove.scm and smart-enlarge.scm. Both of these files go in the .gimp-2.6/scripts folder. If you're on a linux system, you might want to ask the proper install for resynthesizer at registry.gimp.org. There are only 3 files, I’m aware of, that are needed for a Windows OS.

No idea why you would have .scm files on your desktop unless you saved it there. 

.scm files = scripts folder

.py and .exe = plug-ins folder

It's that simple.
