This should be quite easy :-) Try right-clicking the scanner icon and selecting "properties" from the pop-up menu. There should be a text box labelled "command" or "program". Just enter "xsane" in that box and click OK. I'm guessing here as I don't use KDE (SuSE's default desktop) myself, but it should be very similar to the way Windows does it. If you install xsane from an RPM I imagine SuSE will set up an icon itself or at least a menu option. > I know that this is absolute heresy to the Linux community, and I > shall be abused - if not 'drummed-out [!!!] Not at all. I use icons myself occasionally, though I prefer to have them on a panel or task-bar rather than on the desktop. Martin
