That won't work. Since all desktop-files are cached, this will only work after a restart of gnome/kde or something. So I would say: use the script, and don't place the files yourself. (With the script you can also add categories, to place the menu-entry in the right place) Joost. _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
