#21 no matching function all in DesktopConfig.cpp

[Michael Heras]

fails to make from source 0.7.5

looks like your header files c++ definition is not matching.

[Squeekers]

Add #include <sys/stat.h> to DesktopIconConfig.h - it solves the error.
For some reason, GCC defaults to bits/stat.h, whereas sys/stat.h is the recommended header.
