As far as making Icons, very simple under KDE. Just right click the
descktop, under new their is application, click this. A generic icon is
created on your desktop. Right click the Icon and click properties. Change
the name to whatever you want but always keep the .kdlnk extension. (ie.
newprogram.kdlnk) Use the other property tabs to change the property of the
link to the way you want it. Ther should be a place to direct the link to
the intended executable and another for whatever commands are necessary.
