Re: desktop icons for all users in Gnome

Hello,

Can anybody suggest an easy method to put a link to a file on all current user's Gnome desktops?

More specifically, I have a PDF instructions file I want to put a link to on all user's Gnome desktop on a machine. I also want to put the file on a central location, for example in /usr/local/docs. The links on desktops are good since any update to the file would not need the links to be updated as long as the name of the file remains the same.

(Perhaps this is very much similar to the concept of All Users desktop in Windows XP.)

So, any ideas?

thanks,

If I had any ideas, they would probably relate to files within /usr/share such as /usr/share/gnome, /usr/share/gnome-2.0, usr/share/gnome-2.2 and /usr/share/nautilus; however, I can find nothing that defines the default desktop there. Perhaps you'll have better luck.
