Ok, looking specifically at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Desktop_files
I can't find anything here about putting an icon on the user's
desktop. When I create near identical .desktop file to the one listed
on that page, it just creates a gnome menu item.
I also don't see anything on this page advising me against putting an
icon on the dektop.

Packaging Guidelines directly, but the fact that we
make every effort to adhere to FHS:

You just can't rely on /home being present or having particular
contents, for one thing.
