I personally wouldn't want it like this. I often ssh into my machine
from school/work, meaning I am at the command line and not a pretty GUI.
When I do an ls on my home dir I don't want to see a bunch of .desktop
files and other crap that I keep on my desktop. Stuff like that just
doesn't make sense from a command line point of view. I like the
seperation of 'files I work with' going into the home dir and 'app
launchers and shortcuts' going onto the desktop.

Just my 2 cents ... as long as we keep an option to change it I don't
really care about the default too much. I am not sure what would be
better for new users.
