    How do I add my own program/icon to desktop?

    Hi. I'd like to add a new icon to lxde desktop, that has associated with it the
    name of a shell script (that i've written) or single command, so that when i
    double-click the icon, the script/command executes.

    Could you tell me how to do it please? I've looked in knoppix wiki but can't see
    it covered.

    I guess this kind of question would be covered by a Knoppix manual. Where would
    I find such an online manual or book i can buy please? Also, I know that there
    is documentation within knoppix itself, like "KDE Help Centre", but it doesn't
    seem to contain instructions for doing things in the desktop environment, like
    this query that i have here.

    Thanks, John.

    Hello John,
    you can create a ".desktop" file like for example:

    /home/knoppix/Desktop/kn-what.desktop
    Code:
    [Desktop Entry]
    Encoding=UTF-8
    Type=Application
    Name=my Installation
    Name[de]=aktuelle Installation
    Comment=Lists of all programms and libraries
    Comment[de]=Listen aller Programme und Libraries
    Icon=accessories-dictionary
    Exec=/etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator --geometry=100x24 -e /usr/bin/kn-what
    Terminal=false
    StartupNotify=true
    Categories=System;
    Write your command at "Exec=.." and for "Icon=.." select an icon from '/usr/share/icons/hicolor/'. You'll find many examples at '/usr/share/applications'.

    Also have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDE
    => Autostart Programs
