Comment # 10 on bug 963680 from Chuck Davis

Yes, if it is on the menu there is no problem.  You don't even have to
drag/drop.  Just right click and choose where you want it.  That is
very nice, by the way!!

The problem is with bash scripts, self-developed programs, etc. that
are not on the menu.  Making a link to them is critical.  Yes,
CRITICAL!!!  :)

How can I ask a Windows user to use a desktop where they can't create a
shortcut to anything.  "Well, if you put a folder view on the desktop then you
can create one there."  Wow, that's archaic!  "But wait, there's more....now
you have to place a quicklaunch on the desktop first and THEN you can create a
shortcut in that."  We need to get KDE back to where we can create a launcher
on the desktop or Windows users are just simply not going to be interested in
something so difficult to use.
