Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
When Steam creates a desktop shortcut after clicking to install a game, it creates a .desktop file in both ~/Desktop and ~/.local/share/applications.
This has a problem that it isn't treated as a proper shortcut (containing an arrow shortcut icon), which is the behavior on Windows.
(The arrows.)
To fix it, Steam would have to create a symbolic link to the same file in ~/.local/share/applications, therefore treating as a symlink and correcting the behavior in the desktop files, instead of duplicating the same .desktop file for both locations.
