But we dont have to agree on the implementation if we have an fdo lib.
All we have to agree on is an interface (fdo_get_desktop_dir) which
should be a formality. Implementation can then be easily changed as
needed. 

Is there consensus for an fdo lib? I got the impression no one objected
to that and quite a few supported the idea.

jamie.
