Hi Astron,
Attached is a patch that I know you are not too happy about ;-) - change
the default of creating the desktop icon on Windows back to 'yes'.
My reasons for insisting are several; I think I've written most of them
in another mail, but to summarize:
- it is easier to remove the icon than to add it (if you choose an
option during installation you are not happy with later)
- even if it is the Administrator who did the installation, the user
can still remove it from his / her desktop
- others (eg. Firefox) do not even ask, and install the icon
- online update numbers seem to suggest that less people start
LibreOffice immediately after the installation, compared to when we
defaulted to installing the start icon; but of course this can be
totally unrelated
I know that the decisions about the defaults are always hard, and that
is why Andras asked you in the first place, so I don't want just push it
without your approval ;-) - but I believe there are good reasons to
revert the behavior, at least for the near future.
Thank you a lot,
Kendy

Subject: [PATCH] Revert "fdo#49919 Don't default to desktop pollution"
If somebody made a mistake in his / her preferences during installation, it
is much easier to remove the unwanted icon, than to add it.
This reverts commit 6af68b494dafcc6822463a0445692929735eb0af.
