Well, it shouldn't be INSTALLED per default, just INCLUDED in tarball.

I am really not sure about coverage of using .desktop files. However, I 
would think that it is always matter of platform specific utilities. I 
have here /usr/bin/desktop-file-install which creates a system-wide menu 
records. I don't think it should be that difficult to create a 
standalone (outside of Xorg trees) similar utilities for platforms which 
lacks it and where maintainers would like to use it.

I don't know. It was meant more like a suggestion. Of course, it 
shouldn't be that difficult to add .desktop files for other applications 
which need it (I presented example list in my previous message).
