Re: [qubes-users] Icons on my desktop security question?

22...@tutamail.com:

Rookie question:

1) Why I didn't discover this before I don't know, simply drag the program from the Qubes 
drop down menu onto the desktop i.e. drag "Fedora-dvm-Firefox" or any other app 
program onto the desktop for easy access.

Does this impact my Qubes security? It asked if I want to execute this program the first 
time I use the icon, clicked "Yes"...

Pretty slick feature...


Yea having shortcuts for frequently used apps on my desktop definitely 
helps usability for me too. I can't think of any security implications 
for this, since an attacker shouldn't be able to execute them unless 
they have access to dom0 anyway, but i'm not an expert!


When xfce asks if you want to execute the shortcut you should be able to 
just mark it executable so it doesn't ask again.
