I think you need a file that is recognized by X (or the WM) as a "desktop" file. Try something like the following in a file ~/Desktop/testLauncher.desktop (except don't use /home/jsack :-; please post if you discover the _minimum_ content, and/or the docs for doing this <sigh> ) """ [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Name=test Comment=this is a comment Exec=/home/jsack/testLauncher.sh Icon= Type=Application StartupNotify=true X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.12 OnlyShowIn=GNOME; GenericName[en_US]= Name[en_US]=test2 """ Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
