Base DESKTOPDIR on LOCALBASE instead of PREFIX
The knob is currently defined thus:
DESKTOPDIR?= ${PREFIX}/share/applications
which tells ports to install the DESKTOP_ENTRIES where the rest of the port is
installed.
Instead, it probably should be:
DESKTOPDIR?= ${LOCALBASE}/share/applications
because, wherever a port installs its own bits, the desktop entries ought to be
in the common location, where the desktop environments (KDE, Gnome, etc.) can
find them.
That is, DESKTOPDIR is more like SED or LDCONFIG -- referring to an existing
path, rather than, what the port will create.
The patch seems easy, but the discussion, probably, will not be...
