Chris, I'll defer to you on this one, but my gut instinct is that this
belongs either in a brainstorm (which it apparently already is) or in a
blueprint. Bugs of this type are usually filed against the individual
package and tagged with desktop-file where they can be fixed or rejected
by the individual developers. Blueprints are more 'wide ranging' ideas
and implementations.
The one major problem I see with this is many of the Ubuntu packages
that don't create menu/desktop icons are programs without a GUI. Forcing
them to have an icon wouldn't make much sense and would confuse users.
I'd rather stick with the system of creating a single bug report for
each instance of a program that people think *should* have an icon. At
that point its up to the developers whether or not to support that
request.
