 done in r4531. but again the servers menu is badly bloated and I look for
 ways to fix that.

 the file is stored in the doc/ dir. go for it.

 (http://localhost:8008/mapguide/mapadmin/)

 add a *.desktop launcher to the user's Desktop/, see the sahana install
 script for an example.
 keep the filename consistent with the other mapguide.desktop files so it
 gets in the menu ok.

 install_desktop.sh does the sorting, but '''please take great care if you
 touch it'''.
 Almost nothing will fit cleanly into one category, and it is a huge mess
 to allow duplicate placement, so we just have to pick the best label and
 not worry too much as there is really no "correct" answer. (different
 users will use the same program in very different ways)


 ciao,
