Icon file for the desktop entry

The DeforaOS ports/packages do not appear to have an XDG session entry or a
single script/binary for starting up the desktop. This prevents it from being
accessible from a graphical login manager for end-users. I am not sure if this
should be added to the x11/deforaos-desktop (meta package), or the
x11/deforaos-browser port (since that one actually installs the "desktop"
binary).

I am attaching a couple possible files to fix this issue:
1) A "startdeforaos" script for launching all the necessary pieces of the DE
(to be placed in /usr/local/bin).
  Note: This script only starts the desktop/panel at the moment - it seem like
DeforaOS still needs a window manager? 

2) An icon for the DE: "deforaos.png" (to be placed in
/usr/local/share/pixmaps)
3) An XDG session entry: deforaos.desktop (to be placed in
/usr/local/share/xsessions)


Just in case the text files do not get attached properly - here are the
contents of the plain text files:

[file /usr/local/bin/startdeforaos]
#!/bin/sh

#start up the panel (required for graphical logout options)
panel &

#start up the WM (does it have one?)

#Now start the main desktop session
desktop
