Yes, that helps with that error mesage (I'd tried this already). But looking at the other entries in .gnome-desktop, none of them have that, so it indicates a different problem. It means that there is something else required that I'm not seeing. Also, there are other error messages with other

Your right, its a mystery on what is a nice way to do this. I usually edit an existing entry and save it under a new name. If you change an entry, you need to delete the original and copy the changed entry to the directory before the changes are noted (or exit/relogin gnome!). You can set the

WEll, I'm not getting to far with this little adventure. I can get the icon on the desk, and it even starts the application it's supposed to. But with varied results. For example I set up a Netscape file in .gnome-desktop. It puts the icon on the desktop as it should. It even starts Netscape.
