I received two responses which referred me to the same mac-based
utility: Desktop Rebuilder from Dayna Communications Inc. (now out of
business).  I tried it out and it seems to work fine.  I think the ideal
solution would be a cron'd app periodically running on Linux (e.g.,
daily) that would rebuild the desktop files.  Maybe I'll work on that
someday.
