[K12OSN] Re: reply to k12OSN:pushing icons out to desktops

[Peter Scheie]

The /usr/sbin/copy-icons-to-users-desktops script looks for 
/etc/skel/Desktop directory and if it exists, it will put a copy of the 
icon you're distributing in there, such that future users will get the 
icon.  However, by default, there is no Desktop/ directory in /etc/skel. 
  Create it, and then future users will get the desktop icons.

Not sure what you mean by "similar changes to the remove script".
