A new cmd shortcut with icon seems to stay on the desktop I place it on, although I did move it to the centre just before rebooting and it reappeared in it's old position. Gconf perhaps failed to store the new location on the same desktop due to the reboot. Will report if I see any real issue.

VERY useful application, I need to add. Interface a little unintuitive regarding the icon generation and linking to the new short-cut. In presentation the icon tab has equal status to the others, although mostly icon making will serve as a sub-set action of the others. Perhaps it should link off them? Or do you see making unlinked icons as a primary role of the prog?

Bravo!
