Hello Frank,
I tried your excellent template suggestion to create an icon for
midnight commander. I got as far as an icon that opens konsole but I
can't get mc to start. Could you elaborate for a newbie, please. Also,
I can't get the Autostart directory to open; instaed I get the error:
The config file has no "Type=..." line. Can you help, please?
Regards,
