I agree with David on not liking random things placed on my desktop--it disrupts
my icon grouping and I would probably junk an involuntarily installed icon without
checking to see what it did.

All,
The eventual release of R14 will mark a turning point in Trinity
history. The R14 release is significant because of the many class
and branding renaming changes. While we have drafted a README
document to explain such changes, we have no mechanism for users to
read the document.
I would like to see us patch the sources such that a Release Notes
document is always placed on the user's desktop when updating to a
new release. That practice would continue with maintenance releases
too.
Darrell,
I usually always agree with you, but here I don't. It absolutely burns me up
when an install places things on my desktop that I haven't told it to put there
and I don't want. I just think of windows and all the worthless links you had to
delete off the desktop just to see a clean desktop.
I agree it would be good to give that information to users on install, but
can't we find a better place for it? Why not do it in:
a small systray app that is run on first use after install; or
a button in the about:tde dialog access from every help menu; or
as an entry in tmenu -> README - R14 Release (opening in kwrite)
Anything, I mean anything, except a whopping big icon planted on the desktop
Thoughts?
You asked ;-)
Where else do you think we could put it that would accomplish what you are
trying to do?
