I's only slightly different and probably not satisfactory too:
- users can erase them, no mandatory imposition
- "Desktop" desktop directory name depends on national setting
- it work only in account creation time, when i need modify something later, I will crawl through users dirs
- as I wrote before, on PC is several hundert accounts, but actively in using only several (10-15), thus although desktop files aren't too big, symlinks to central dir are in this case smaller (and in addition centrally maintained)
