outside the package manager or did anything but be a nice little end
user and let the GNOMEs take care of everything. Steve Jobs is smiling
somewhere.
I make .desktop files on a regular basis to fire off ssh sessions and
such. Or did until I abandoned GNOME and found XFCE won't launch ssh
via a .desktop link under some circumstances I haven't understood yet.
Some of my existing desktop links work, others don't and I haven't
nailed down the cause yet.
with a chance this was already mentioned, what's a good place to learn how to create those .desktop files?
