Ok, looking specifically at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Desktop_files

I can't find anything here about putting an icon on the user's desktop.
 When I create near identical .desktop file to the one listed on that page,
it just creates a gnome menu item.

I also don't see anything on this page advising me against putting an icon
on the dektop.
