I'm not sure we want to handle the desktop directory the same way. It's 
really a special case because applications often put their 'icons' on 
the desktop. So if the Windows desktop is just a symbolic link to the 
Unix one, the user will end up with a lot of 'xxx.lnk' files on his 
desktop. In particular these files will show the wrong icon: they will 
have the icon associated with 'lnk' files, instead of the one of the 
application they are supposed to start.

So I think it's best to keep the Windows desktop separate from the Unix 
one, and let winemenubuilder put 'xxx.desktop' files on the Unix desktop 
when appropriate.
