I guessed correctly for that part, but do all OS have either Gnome or
KDE desktop?
If not, that leaves some desktop brands without a config file. If we are
ok in having
desktop specific files (analogous to distro specific code), then I am
fine.

We could get bug reports like "it shows xcalc on my Linux box but not on
my MAC, please fix it. And also fix xclock which does not show
anywhere".
