For example, here is my gnumeric.desktop:
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=GNumeric
GenericName=GNumeric
Exec=debbie gnumeric
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=deblet
I am having real problems with these desktop shortcuts!

I've copied this text into a .desktop file in the /usr/share/applications/hildon directory, changing only the icon entry.

I've created a second file for gftp too and both these shortcuts are showing up on the desktop with the correct icons. The problem is, they don't do anything when presssed!

It's baffling, given that "debbie gnumeric" and "debbie gftp" both work as desired when executed from the normal (user) terminal.
