Im trying to make a nice desktop icon for my little python script.

Ive created the .desktop file and its added to my desktop. It also has the correct icon, but everytime i click it, nothing happens. could someone please help me?

I'll post the .desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name=EasySteer
Exec=/usr/bin/xterm "python /home/user/MyDocs/Python/EasySteer/Main.py"
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
Icon=steering_wheel
X-Icon-Path=/usr/share/icons

The script is located at /home/user/MyDocs/Python/EasySteer/Main.py

If this is still an issue, I think you don't need the /usr/bin/xterm in the Exec option. So:

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name=EasySteer
Exec=python /home/user/MyDocs/Python/EasySteer/Main.py
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
Icon=steering_wheel
X-Icon-Path=/usr/share/icons
This should eventually work...
