   Propably a totally dumb question but I am curious how the   
   *.desktop files used in ~/Desktop are created for   
   quick execution of gui programs?   
      
   Obviously they are text files and some parts seem reasonbly   
   obvious but other parts are not.   
      
   I am mainly interest so that if I generate a gui program xxx,   
   how to I make a xxx.desktop file.   
      
   Apropos yielded a reference to kdelnk files and conversion   
   to .desktop but nothing on making a kdelnk.   
      
   Help.  I am surely missing something.   
      
   Thanks.
