[K12OSN] Push Item to Desktop Problem

[Adam Melancon]

Don't quote me on it, but I'm guessing you can edit the 
/usr/sbin/push-icons-to-users-desktops
script to include your directories in the /home folder


Here is the top of the file
=====================
#!/bin/sh
#
# A quick-n-dirty little script that will copy an icon to all user's
# GNOME/KDE desktops
#

# if you have $HOME somewhere besides /home, or more than one home,
# edit this line:
HOMEDIRS="/home"
=====================
Just edit the HOMEDIRS variable to something like "/home/*/"
Again, i'm just guessing, use with caution.
