Hi All I'd like to add a shortcut/alias/launchthingy to the panel on a KDE desktop from the command line. I've created a .desktop file, dragged it into the kicker panel and did a 'find' on it - it showed up in .kde/share/apps/kicker/ which seemed to make sense. But, when I copy that .desktop file to another machine in the same location - it doesn't show up in the panel - even after logging in and out. What am I doing wrong? Comments appreciated, Brian
I don't know how to do this, but "dcop" probably does. Dcop is the Desktop Communications Protocol, and the kicker supports it.
Explore kicker's dcop functions by issuing "dcop kicker" from a konsole.On the 'net there is an introduction to using dcop; you might check that out.
