>Precisely. It's getting the icon on the desktop in the first place, in In KDE I drag the "program" icon from the templates folder into the desktop.
In the properties for my newly created program link, I browsed to /opt/openoffice/bin/soffice No-one told me that was the correct bin file - I just guessed (and guessed correctly). No-one taught me what the templates folder in kde is for, I guessed correctly based on past experience with OS/2. I don't expect my wife to be able to add a program shortcut to the desktop in either kde or windows, that's what she has me for! And my openoffice is complete with help files. I installed openoffice from a CD bought at the e-caf in the art centre (thanks paul). Working for an isp I field a lot of calls from users whose windows set-ups have become unexplicably screwed-up, and a non-techie home user is just as lost in fixing their windows set-up as they would be with linux. The help desk guys usually tell the customer to re-install, and the customer usually ends up getting a techie friend to do that. Any computer, regardless of OS, requires at least _some_ specialist knowledge or a techie friend. Yuri
