Hello. In my case I need to configure 20 SuSE desktop so that each user on each host have 3 shortcut icon on their desktop: 1) shortcut to Firefox, named "surf the Internet"; 2) shortcut to Writer, named "word processing"; 3) shortcut to Calc, named "spreadsheet"; 4) shortcut to a shared NFS mount point, /mnt/fileserver which is mounted when every hosts when boot; I don't know where desktop shortcuts are usually being stored, they don't appear in /home/user/Desktop folder when checking with ls(1). Even if I can creat shortcuts manually for all users (each host have around 10 users for 10 classes of students), I still have trouble next year when I need to do this another 10x20 times because old users are removed and new users are created. I wish to creat it in /etc/skel but I cannot do it as long as they were not actually files. The 'everythig are files' concept of UNIX seems no longer welcomed these days. Any suggestions? Is it possible, e.g. add my add-shortcut-script to the very script created Desktop folder when new user login the first time?
