Hi Nikola,

The norm for installing desktop icons, if not just dropping them into the
appropriate directory, to match the XDG directory standard of:

  http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

This usually implies dropping it in the applications dir under:

  /usr/local/share
  /usr/share
  ${HOME}/.local/share

But the dirs can also be adjusted for a user using the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable.

A utility exists to install a .desktop file in the appropriate directory
for you, if installing using a script, and this is:

  xdg-desktop-menu

It *should* just 'do the right thing'...

HTH,

Darren.
