My first patch kept a record of all desktop entries that icedtea-web
created in a file. This meant that if a user deleted the desktop icon,
icedtea-web wouldn't prompt for the creation of that icon again.

It was important to lock that record file to prevent multiple
icedtea-web processes from editing it simultaneously.

Cheers,
Omair
