is there any way I can add an icon to run the start_net.sh script (or any script for that matter), and if so, how?
Yes, just create a .desktop file and change the binary it points to to one in /opt/QtPalmtop/bin (either move start_net.sh there, or create a symlink there).
Ok, I found the .desktop files, and they seem to be placed in an apps dir, but there's serveral apps dirs:
/home/QtPalmtop/apps
/home/opt/QtPalmtop/apps
/home/opt/QtPalmtop/share/apps
/root/.kde/share/apps
/root/kdepim/apps
Which is the 'correct' one to place my new files into? I'm guessing the /home/opt/QtPalmtop/apps, 'cause that seems to have all of my 'active' icons in it.
Looking at these files, some are pretty simple, like like the one for nethack:
root@poodle:/home/opt/QtPalmtop/apps/Games# cat nethack.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Comment = Classic Dungeon Adventure Game
Exec = nethack
Icon = NetHack
Name = NetHack
Type = Games
CanFastload = 0
So the default bin path is /opt/QtPalmtop/bin as you mentioned, but where does it pull it's iocns from? There's no 'icon*' dir that I can see.
thanks for your help.
