Sorry, no. The text should be displayed when you hover the mouse over the icon, though. > In CDE's window manager (and all previous window managers I have used) > it is very easy to create "lanuchers" via single line entries in a > menu definition file.

Some people like the Deskbar applet, which makes it easy to organize your favorite launchers into one applet. You might also try asking this sort of question on the public GNOME mail lists. You might get tips that you wouldn't find on the Solaris specific mail lists. Try the gnome-hackers mail list for example: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/ Brian
