There are two issues here: o Launching apps from desktop icons. This depends upon your desktop environment. For KDE and gnome, right-click on the desktop and fill in the requirements. For other Window mana- gers, it is WM specific. Need to RTFM for your WM. Many WMs do not cater for such a feature at all. o For mounting devices with non-root privileges, you need to have that device included in /etc/fstab. This has already been covered in previous posts ... For an example, see sig below.
