Hi Jeffrey,
I suppose if we're going to have a .desktop file it only makes sense to
install it. A couple of questions:

What does desktop-file-install do for us here? Anything that we couldn't
do with just "install"? I'm just wanting to be careful that we don't
break "make install" for people who may not even want this file.
If we really do need to install it with desktop-file-install, we could
do a configure check for that program, of course.
Thanks,
-Carl
