This sounds like a sensible suggestion and might be a good candidate to
standardize.
If so, could we piggyback it on one of the standards in the making?
Cheers,
Waldo

Summary: Offer $DESKTOP as a variable which contains the path to
the desktop dir
Product: konsole
Version: unspecified
Platform: SuSE RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: konsole-devel@kde.org
ReportedBy: mchristoph.eckert@t-online.de
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from: SuSE RPMs
OS: Linux
For distributable Scripts, it would be very nice to always have the path to
the users desktop in a variable like $DESKTOP; I use some scripts here for
me which do useful things like mounting ISO-images on the desktop for
browsing etc. But in my scripts, I always know where my desktop is, but this
disables me from spreading them via the web to unexperienced users. OK, I
could try to grep for the desktopdir through $KDEHOME/share/ etc., but this
is more difficult as when KDE could set $DESKTOP while KDE starts
Other usage: I wrote a script called by hotplug which creates *.desktop-files
for my cam, stick etc., but everyone who will use it has to change the path
to the desktop, and I cannot one script for many users of the same machine
without setting the absolute path for each user.
