Well, one has to think about it from the user experience, those guys that Anton du Toit spoke about - grandma stuff! ;) If they see an icon, do you think they know what's behind it. So if they delete it, they think the application is gone. Little do they know that it's a link to the app, which also has many more files associated with it. So... maybe a message like this will do: "You are about to delete a link to an application, which contains other files too. Do you want to delete the link or uninstall the application?
