How did you "Place hard links"? If you used ln then you have made a filesystem directory entry for THE SAME FILE (read man ln) - you need to make a KDE link ...

Dylan, let me buy you dinner. Yes, as I have said several times, I did make the link with ln, because I (like many others) had never become aware of kde links. It turns out that this method is very much like the way that none-kde applications were placed on a Panel in the kde3 era, but much improved, so that, for example, I was able to use my custom icon file without jumping through hoops as I had to do in the kde3 case with the Panel. The method starts with clicking MB2 on the Desktop Folder, then selecting Create New > Link to Application, and then doing what comes naturally. All very easy. The frustration was almost worth it, Thanks for everyone who tried to help; we all learned something. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
