    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.
    
alias ls="ls --ignore=\*.desktop"

will help you with that.
