Replying to myself here....
After some preliminary discussions on IRC with Federico, it seems that
as far as Sabayon created profiles are considered, it would be best to
keep a consistent naming system for the global desktop link directory
eg: $(sysconfdir)/desktop-profiles/desktop-items/{profile-name}
This would also take care of distributing these links if the requirement arises.
So, the current idea is to:
1. Have a Edit->Desktop Links menu item in the Sabayon profile editor
window which would fire up the desktop links editing tool (the
directory will be predefined as
$(sysconfdir)/desktop-profiles/desktop-items/{profile-name} as soon as
the user clicks on the menu item.
2. The link editing tool would have a check box to enable/disable the
global (mandatory) desktop links.
Does this sound like a sensible plan ?
Warm regards,

I think that is a good idea, a inteface similar to that one about the changes is enough.
