Hello everybody, me again with my disturbing problems

!

I discovered Synaptic in DSL, a GREAT way to install AND uninstall apps, but... Is there any way to add icons or in some way add "custom menu's" to easily see what's installed or to start what's installed (I know how to start with command, but I want to make some "graphical link")??? !?

I found the desktop-icons in /home/dsl/.xtdesktop but the problem is, if I start to make a new icon, I must calculate the next free "fixed" position, is'nt there any easy way to do this!?

BTW, wooow me like DSL very much now :laugh:

You don't need to calculate X/Y positions.
If you are using automatic layout the icon will align properly.
If you are X/Y then put in anything and then afterwards select double click and drag the icon to the desired position. Using Synaptic or Debian is great for the traditional hard drive installations. For Frugal/Live CD is uses too much of the ramdisk.

It seems to be quite easy to add icons though (unless you want to remove icons and then fill the empty space

) !

But I tried to make an icon to the desktop, edited another one, changed the position to the next "available", but it does not show up, and I have double-checked everything!

The only thing I can see wrong is if the PNG-icon must be a specific size

Hum... I have this disturbing problem, everytime I leave the computer, not using it for a while, it goes "black" and when I press any key to resume it's back at the computer boot, anyone possibly knows how to solve this problem :rock: !?
