Where can I find instructions for creating a launcher specific to xfce?Didn't think of it in my last post, but the site with the info about '.desktop' files gives an example that includes a line to specify an icon and the location to put the file that should get it to show in your applicaton menu. https://linuxcritic.wordpress.com/2010/04/07/anatomy-of-a-desktop-file/
Just right click in your desktop tool-bar and select "panel" and click on "add new item". The very first selection is Launcher, click on it and hit "+add" to add it. You should see a newly created icon with a red X. Right click on it and select "Properties"
Click on the + button.Select what you want it to launch and hit add, it should be there on your tool bar. Then close the edit window. There ya go! Ric
