How likely is the shift to ~/Desktop for 2.2? I *think* this would be seen a
feature for the purposes of the Oct 31 freeze, given the issues with
migrating from ~/.gnome-desktop, etc.

Random pseudo(code|thoughts)...

  # lots of people do this, shouldn't stop migration if the link exists
  if ~/Desktop is a symlink to ~/.gnome-desktop
    rm ~/Desktop

  if ~/Desktop exists
    if ~/.gnome-desktop exists
      # this is almost certainly very, very stupid
      mv ~/.gnome-desktop/* ~/Desktop/
  else
    mv ~/.gnome-desktop ~/Desktop
