Bug Description
What advantages do we get from running Amazon as a webapp?
Instead provide a desktop icon with Exec=sensible-
and we save significant space on the image by using the already existing browser.

The main advantage is that you can switch back to the Amazon webapp window
if one is already opened.
This is a key advantage for certain webapps, like Gmail. But for more
classic web sites, like Amazon or Ebay, the benefits are debatable.
