Hi,

you need a text-file with the freedesktop .desktop-format:

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-entry-spec/


Instead reading the spec you could copy an existing one: e.g

/usr/share/applications/gedit.desktop 

or

/usr/share/applications/rdairplay.desktop


copy it to ~/Desktop and edit it as you wish. If you only use english,
there is obviously no need for all the other languages.

The file must be executable, that gnome & co doesn't freak out ;)

Hope that helps

Schöne Grüße

Keywan
