Maybe, but this is also solved otherwise by unlinking the mapping when the desktop is unlinked.

Making the desktop work as a directory feels to me like a change to the way the object desktop behaves, which is more risky than having a wine-specific directory in the WindowsStations directory. It also suggests that desktop is supposed to contain other objects on Windows, whereas it would only be a Wine-specific thing.
