I like that idea a lot.  But once we create the symlink, there's no
need to change where we create the .desktop files, they'll go
in the right place.

The Portland folks say that xdg-desktop-menu will install the
.desktop file both in ~/.local and in the legacy locations .kde and .gnome.
Wine should probably use xdg-desktop-menu someday to do its
menu installation, but for now, it should probably just add .desktop
entries into ~/.local in addition to where it now puts them.
(Anyone know why it doesn't?)
