arctic Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Go to the menu, select the app you want to have as a link on the desktop and drag&drop the menu entry to your desktop. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiver_Fluffi Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 IIRC you can also right-click on the the menu entry and it should give you an option to create a desktop icon, well at least for gnome anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 You can do the same in Mandriva2006 with KDE. Go to the Menu and to the application you require and right click on it then choose ....Add item to desktop. Cheers. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Even simpler (for KDE, anyway) is running kmenu, and then dragging and dropping any application icon you wish on your desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
