I went ahead and tried this method of adding the .desktop files to /etc/skel/Desktop and it didn't work. Do I need to give it certain permissions?
ls /etc/skel/ .bash_logout .bash_profile .bashrc Desktop/ Examples/ I still don't have an easy way for new users to have a default set of icons on their desktop. I can easily add it to their menus but that's not the intended goal here. Any help would be great! I'm trying this with Ubuntu and SLES. Thanks, On 1/3/07, Josselin Mouette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Therefore you should think it in terms of building a package, not writing an installer. If the package includes .desktop files in /etc/skel/Desktop, this should achieve what you want to do. However this sounds quite intrusive, and having them in /usr/share/applications so that they appear in the menus should be enough. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
