Recommended way to display the desktop by default?

[Sebastien Bacher <seb128 ubuntu com>]

Hi,

Is there a recommended way to make nautilus-3 handle the desktop by
default in a desktop environment that a distribution can use? Seems the
recommended way for users is to the use gnome-tweak-tools which would
write an autostart in the .local directory. Is there any reason to not
ship one of those by default with nautilus with a conditional start on
the gsettings key for displaying the desktop icons?

Cheers,
