Hey!

Everytime i launch steam from the menu, it creates a desktop-shortcut. This is pretty uncool, because i have a very clean Desktop without any symbols.

Is it possible to change this or create an option for enable/disable this function?

bin_steam.sh (line 106-115)

# put the Steam icon on the user's desktop
# try to read ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs to get the current desktop configuration
# http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs
test -f "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/user-dirs.dirs" && source "${XDG_CONFIG_H$
DESKTOP_DIR="${XDG_DESKTOP_DIR:-$HOME/Desktop}"

if [ -d "$DESKTOP_DIR" ]; then
 cp "/usr/share/applications/$STEAMPACKAGE.desktop" "$DESKTOP_DIR"
 chmod +x "$DESKTOP_DIR/$STEAMPACKAGE.desktop"
fi

It should only do this if it needs to reinstall the bootstrap. Can you look and see why it thinks it needs to do this every time you launch?
