Desktop Icons are managed by the ROX-Filer's 'Pinboard'

The config is held in the XML file: /root/Choice/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<pinboard>

We want a simplified desktop to appear so as not to frighten off/confuse less technical users. This is partly inspired by Beatrix.

Note that the desktop icons point to system shortcuts which allow the preferred app for each function to be set in 1 place & have the whole system updated (Desktop, MIME-Types, etc)
