While installing Firefox for windows (using wine), I discovered that
wine did not create a desktop icon on my gnome desktop. I looked at the
tools/wineshelllink file (in the wine source directory) and found that
the reason for this is that instead of using $HOME/Desktop as the
directory in which to place the icons it uses $HOME/.gnome-desktop (the
directory in which gnome -- not gnome2 -- used to install desktop
icons).
Once I fixed this (on my system), the icons are generated just fine.
All I did was replace "$HOME/.gnome-desktop" by "$HOME/Desktop" in the
script.
BTW, I've included a patch that does just that for your convenience so
you can get this bug fixed easily and quickly. :-)
