Comment(by warmerdam):

 I like them, and I'm a linux guy!

 I do hate that if I push them all down into a subfolder that they get
 recreated on the next run, but I don't see that being very fixable.

 I am getting the impression you don't like the idea of always creating
 them.   I wonder how others feel about the difficulty of (over time I
 suppose) fixing up the install scripts to honour a no-desktop-icons
 switch.
