macOS xdg-desktop-icon

[jtesdall]

Yes it was me that mentioned the uninstall in add\remove programs. I have
went ahead and bitten the bullet and pulled down the source and begun adding
in code to create the windows desktop shortcuts. I have that working now in
a hardcoded fasion and need to make it dynamic by the actual application
that is being handled. I will then take a look at making the "purge" clear
cache function remove the desktop shortcut, as well as think about adding an
item in add/remove programs. Jiri mentioned this is "nearly" not neccesary.
That is true for techincal people but for standard windows users they have
no concept of "cache" and expect to use add/remove programs to "uninstall" a
program. I agree this isn't as critical as is a desktop shortcut but it
would be nice to have.

I will be happy to share my code of course but have no idea of the process
involved to do so. Nor do I have the knowledge of the standard ITW structure
to make sure linux (xdesktop) still works, not do I have linux or mac.
Actually I have commented out some of the xdesktop code currently. If
someone (Jiri ;0)) would like to take my windows code and integrate it
properly that would be great. Otherwise I should keep it to myself for fear
of messing things up and making more work for others.
