[gnome-flashback] Proposal for desktop icons

[rastersoft <raster rastersoft com>]

Hi all:

I'm the maintainer of Desktop Icons extension for Gnome Shell, and 
recently I created another extension, also for Gnome Shell, that also 
adds desktop icons, but with a twist: instead of putting all the code 
inside an extension, it moves everything into an external program based 
on GTK, and only puts a little bit of code inside the extension just to 
allow it to work with Wayland.

The point is that yesterday I added a little patch that makes the 
desktop icons code 100% autonomous over X11, which means that it can be 
used also with other desktops... like Gnome Flashback. I attach an 
screenshot.

I'm searching for testers. If you want to test it, just download the GIT 
repository (http://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng) change into 
the "make_X11_stand_alone" branch, compile with "meson" the code to 
compile the schemas, and run it from the folder with:

    ./ding.js -E

(the -E parameter is paramount).
