You want them making decisions for you?
If I install a program on my machine that is normally started by clicking on a desktop icon, I expect that to be done as part of the installation; I don't expect to have to play games to get it there. Checking, every one of the icons on my desktop except for shortcuts to folders is put there by a file in /home/Desktop.
So, you want the installation of programs to populate all user's ~/Desktop? And you want them to all appear on
user's desktops?
That's isn't what is done, and I'm sure you would have noticed if that was the way things are done.
New programs are listed in the appropriate Menu category. That being a "system" level change and not
anything to do with the user. The user if free to override the system settings.
For example, the standard laucher for thunderbird is....
/usr/share/applications/mozilla-thunderbird.desktop
But I have customized mine and placed it in
/home/egreshko/.local/share/applications/mozilla-thunderbird.desktop
which takes precedence over the system's settings.
