It was easy in KDE3 - right click on panel, select "Add Application to Panel" -> "Add Non-KDE Application". Then you could adjust it, e.g. select some appropriate icon instead of default one. This action added "ExecButton" section to kickerrc.
I could not find such possibility in KDE4 (4.3.3). I can "drag" the application icon to the panel. But if I'm trying to change the icon, it is changed for the whole "type" of executables. I've searched on the net and found that someone advised to use "Quick launcher" widget for it. But then you have to create ".desktop" file for the application. I found though that if you create ".desktop" file for application, it can be dragged to the panel and this solves the problem.
Is there simpler way of doing it than creating .desktop file for each application I want to have on the panel?
(I'm not asking why was that simple option removed. I guess, there were many sobbing users requesting to remove this annoying feature :-( ).
-- Mark Goldstein You Might get an answer faster if you ask on the KDE list... just a thought.
