Almost and sorta.
What hans has to do is:
a) Setup paswordless authentification from the clients to the server
look at these urls:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-keyc/
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-keyc2/
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-keyc3/
b) Then create the icons with an execute command as so:
ssh user@servername <command>
If everything is configured correctly, the clients will connect to
the server without asking for a password, run the requested
command/application and disconnect when the command/application is
done.
