Description Duncan Mak 2001-09-10 00:40:08 UTC
I have no idea how to create new program launchers in the Nautilus desktop.
There are launchers to GIMP and Gnumeric in the Nautilus/ folder, but i tried to
copy and change it to a launcher for Gnome Terminal, it didn't work.

This is a bug that was talked about for quite a while.  I think it's called a
"Feature" those...

The Nautilus links that you are seeing in the ~/Nautilus folder aren't intended
to be used by users.  If I'm not mistaken, they want us to use symlinks.  There
will, however, be a way to assign custom icons to symlinks.
