Not in ${prefix}.

~/Applications is automatically searched, but not the rest of the home

Yeah, this is the one that bites me:
* The Finder automatically registers all applications as it becomes aware of them, such as when they are dragged onto the user’s disk or when the user navigates to a folder containing them.

In any event, that still doesn't justify dumping stuff in $ {x11prefix} ...
