I'm not sure how you generated this diff.  There is no Makefile-in in
the Octave source tree.

In any case, I see

  DISTFILES = Makefile.in $(SOURCES) $(SCRIPTS) $(IMAGE_FILES) octave.desktop

in examples/Makefile.in, so octave.desktop is distributed, but maybe
it does not need to be since it is trivial to generate (the rule is in
examples/Makefile, not the configure script).  So I'll remove it from
DISTFILES and add it to the distclean target.

Thanks,

jwe
