Hi everybody, sorry if my question is trivial, but I think that only those who have some experience in development might be able to help me, if what I wish for is feaseble. I have created a link in the KDE 3.0 (SuSE 8.0) Panel, near the clock, and I have associated an icon with it. If I replace the name of the icon in the file of reference - in this case "Icon=gnome-xterm" - with "Icon=gnome-term", the new icon appears only after I open the link "preferences" manually and press OK. Now, my question is: is there a command I can introduce in the my script to refresh the link without a manual operation? In other words, the link to the application is an icon, but the icon I refer to is its graphic representation. Basically, this link to the application does not launch anything and I would like to use it just as a visual signal by changing its graphics so that I specifically know when the my pptp connection is active. The connection script changes reference on opening and closing - and no problem so far -, but the image of the icon does not update by itself not even with the desktop refresh . If I do the same thing with a link on the sul desktop by erasing the link and copying it again it does work, but it would useful that to happen on the Kpanel bar since it would be visible also by using a maximized console. Thanks a lot to anybody who will be helping me with that. Paolo
