thanks naabi,
when I say for dummies i mean it. I have created an icon file:
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Name=SSH 
Terminal=true
Type=Application
Comment=SSH Login
Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm
Icon=terminal
#X-Window-Icon=timerwidget
X-Window-Icon=     
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
in "/usr/share/applications/hildon/" folder i now want it to run this command:
Code:
ssh -l root -L 3389:192.111.1.1:3389 222.222.222.222 -p 22
what should my *.desktop file look like to run this command?

Try
osso-xterm -e ssh -l root -L 3389:192.111.1.1:3389 222.222.222.222 -p 22

Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm 'ssh -l root -L 3389:192.111.1.1:3389 222.222.222.222 -p 22'

That should work

I want to run a command in xTerminal (ssh) i would like to create an icon on my desktop.

Please explain how to make a desktop icon to run a xTerminal command for dummy?
thanks Tim (ps I used "personal menu" on my n810 to do this)
An easy way to add an icon to a shortcut for let say, my post above, would be first to find/create a PNG image of dimension 48x48. google this. save file to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/

Modify the .desktop file to include the following line. The right side should be the name of file without the .png. (the name of my file was topx.png)
Code:
Icon=topx
Save the file and reboot to see the icon for the shortcut.

my topx.desktop shortcut-with-icon for 'top' looks like this:
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name=topx
Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm top
Icon=topx
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

  <return>6</return>
  <po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
 </menuitem>
 <menuitem priority="10" name="Soft poweroff">
  <return>7</return>
  <po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
 </menuitem>
 <menuitem priority="5" name="Top in XTerm">
  <callback service="com.nokia.xterm" path="/com/nokia/xterm" interface="com.nokia.xter
   <argument type="string">/usr/bin/top</argument>
  </callback>
 </menuitem>
-->
in /etc/systemui/systemui.xml while poking around.

Edit: on a whim I uncommented it (removing the <!-- and --> lines) and it seems to work fine.
Thanks I was confused by this as well.

I changed the systemui.xml config but see no change yet, I suppose a reboot is in order?

Glad you brought this up. I have a question about how the icon file is associated. I used a 26x26 file I made for a desktop shortcut. Would yours have worked if you had used a 26x26? I'm wondering about paths and icon directories and how they work. Also, my 26x26 works great for the shortcut but does not show up like yours does here in the main app menu. I just get a generic icon there??

There are a lot of icon directories in diff sizes and I'm trying to understand them.

I think if you put your icon to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/ it will automatically scale your icon at right size to every place where it's needed.
I'm not so sure about this but just a guess..

And also i didn't get to work my icon to xterm ssh until i changed "Terminal=true" to "Terminal=false" in app.desktop file.

Yes. but it doesn't scale nicely.

If it doesn't show up after a reboot, I am not sure what the problem may be.
