I forgot to mention: doing it this way setup can take care for all users

Look in desktop.cc. We simply need to
1) add a parser for the file. (bison + flex or custom, I'm open to
either)
2) build a list of icons to prompt.
3) for now - until bash/cygwin gets a data file in it - add the current
icons to the tail of the list if they are not present
4) iterate through the list to build the dialog contents.
5) process the results.
I'd suggest that the first step is to convert the existing code to a
list based approach, and then get that tested and committed to HEAD.
Following that we add the file parsing to create the list - divide and
conquer.
