What about adding a "Create default icons" in Desktop contextual menu ?
(There is such a thing in GMC)

I'm currently working on that and when I modified
create_starthere_link_callback, I had problem with two files :
start-here.desktop and start-here-link.desktop file. The
start-here-link.desktop is copied on ~/.gnome-desktop as
start-here.desktop so I don't see any use for start-here.desktop.. Is it
really needed ?

I'd like to move start-here-link.desktop to
DATADIR/nautilus/default-desktop and rename it start-here.desktop
(therefore, a simple copy from DATADIR/nautilus/default-desktop to
~/.gnome-desktop would work).

Comments ? (maybe Havoc or Alex ncould comment on the start-here problem
since originaly it was a redhat patch ..)
