I've been digging at this for a while. There "is" a way to add icons to
the desktop in Gnome, for starting applications.
I'm part way there, but stuck.

If I add a deffinition file in ~/.gnome-desktop, I can get the icon on
the desk, and even start the appication, but I always get errors (the
exact error depends on the applicaion I'm launching).

Does anyone know the secret behind making this work? It's a piece of
cake in KDE, but a bit more of a mystery in Gnome.

I know it "can" be done. RedHat & Mandrake both add their stuff to it.
It's just not documented anywhere that I can find. I'd settle for being
pointed at a document.

Thanks!!!
