I sent this to the SuSE KDE mailing list and haven't found any answers. I thought I would put it out here to see if anyone knows what I am talking about.

I would like to set it up so a number of custom icons for commercial software we have in our lab are copied to a users Desktop/ directory upon first login to KDE. I know there is a script somewhere that causes SuSE to copy several icons there (Office.desktop, Printer.desktop, SuSE.desktop, etc...), but I can't figure out where it is. Anyone have an idea?
Michael, Not really sure what you are asking here, but if it is that you want to change the icon of the program as it appears to you, then it's a simple matter of right clicking on the icon and going to "Properties". Click on the icon image that is in the new window that opened and search for your icon to replace it.
Not really what I am looking for... I have the icons/application links created and working, I just need them copied to a user's Desktop directory when they first log in. Normally, I thought I could put this stuff in /etc/skel/Desktop, but that directory's content gets clobbered upon the user's first login to KDE. I need to know what script creates/puts stuff in that user's directory upon initial login, so I can make it not clobber that directory, or have it put the icons in. Thanks for the reply, though. -- Michael Stone Linux / High Performance Computing Administrator The University of Texas at Austin Mechanical Engineering Department ETC 3.130 ph: 512.471.5951 mailguy[at]hpc.me..utexas.edu http://hpc.me.utexas.edu
