Hello all!
Next problem (a minor one this time): how do I put an icon of an
application on the desktop when the application is not in the menu?
The application is definitely there; it can be started from the launcher.
But Kappfinder doesn't find it and it isn't in the menu.
In case it is relevant, the required icon is a shortcut to Evince on TDE
3.5.13 on Debian Squeeze.
Right-click on the desktop, select Create New... > Link to Application
from the context menu, and enter the command in the appropriate
box in the Application tab in the resulting dialogue. (If it doesn't work
the first time, you many need the full path to the application and/or
to fill out the Working Directory box as well.) Then configure the
name and icon for the desktop entry in the General tab.
I have landed up with a very peculiar icon, but it works! That you very much.
