Can I assume then, if I specify Applications, that the app will be
placed in Applications by default for a first time user?

New to packagemaker (os x for that matter). Created simplest

doing something wrong? My assumption is that the application icon
would appear on the desktop, after running the bundle created by
packagemaker.
This is probably because of the IFPkgPathMappings option added by
the Assistant.
The default IFPkgPathMappings is looking for the location of a
previous instance of your application.
And it's probably finding the one you used to create the installer.
If you remove this key in the Info.plist of the .pkg (you will need
to make the file writable) and reopen the package in Installer.app.
This will work fine.
Please note that installing things in $HOME/Desktop is not that
easy. In your current solution, you're tied to /Users/YourUserName/
Desktop. The relocatable flag helps but can't prevent the fact that
the default path will be incorrect in most cases.
