thanks,

Where has flaming text gone???!!! As fascinating as I find your blog, I have been using flaming text for years and was less than impressed to see that it has been replaced?

Please advise where I will find flaming text, or if it has been canned (that would be very disappointing).

Thanks.

Confused

Make link to application:
home/(YOUR NAME)/gimp-2.7.1/bin/gimp-2.7

How to make a desktop launcher:
To get started, make sure the gnome-panel package is installed by running the following commands in the terminal.

sudo apt-get install –no-install-recommends gnome-panel

Now run the following command in the terminal to launch Create Launcher dialog.

gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop/ –create-new

You can also press ALT + F2 and run the dialog. Once the Create Launcher dialog appears, you can give a suitable name for the launcher.In the Command field , type in the command to launch the application.

Add script to:
Home .gnome2 nautilus-script

#!/bin/bash
gnome-desktop-item-edit –create-new ~/Desktop

right click make executable

OR

In the repo add menu editor “alacarte” then look for menu in your apps list

Thanks all
