Disable "Dekstop icon and menu icon" option on PBI

[Tsuroerusu]

OK, I'm sitting here getting totally pissed at the US government because their stupid software patents and DMCA are so good at stifling innovation.

One key part to mass adoption of an open source operating system, be it Linux, BSD or whatever is multimedia support, and I think I can help fix this on PC-BSD. I live in Denmark, and here we have no software patents and no DMCA, so libdvdcss is legal, w32codecs would be legal...

I thought of making PBIs for those kinds of things, and just host them here in Denmark.

One thing I was concerned about for this little "hack" is, that for a codec pack, you don't need any icons anywhere, it's basicly just like the qt libaries.

Is it possible to disable the option of creating icons when packaging the PBI? If not, I don't think this would be too bare to slide into 1.0 so I can add something like "DISABLE_ICON_CREATE=true" to somewhere and then it wouldn't ask the user about that.

well, use a readme and place an icon for it if the usage of icons cannot be disabled.

It should be possible to do it but i do think a readme would be ok for those packages.

It's just that I wanna keep it as simple as possible, and codec pack ARE NOT, simple, codecs in general are a pain in the ass.

What I also thought of was to do a PBI for MPlayer that included the Firefox plugin which makes MPlayer act as Windows Media, I think that would be great, also I know a great KDE frontend for MPlayer called KPlayer, I like it a lot better than KMPlayer, which is very nice.
