Desktop Icons

[erico]

Hi All,

Saved a Asux Eee PC from the recycle bin. Loaded up easy with the 2024 DSL. Installed putty (terminal program) for talking to amateur radio terminal node controller (TNC).

Being simple minded, I can not get icons to go with desktop shortcuts. Can I get a hint on how do add icons to the desktop links?

Thank you,
Erico

If putty (putty-tools from bookworm) is installed right, all you need is either a link or another copy of the .desktop file. I don't actually know the proper way to do this (if there is one) but this'll work:

sudo cp -a /usr/share/applications/putty.desktop ~/Desktop/
