How do I... Create desktop icons in KDE and GNOME?
Double click this icon to open up gnome-terminal
Click OK and your icon will appear on the desktop. That's it!
Final Thoughts
The creation of desktop icons should be a very intuitive task. With KDE and GNOME it is really only a matter of understanding that Link and Launcher are terms used in place of Icon (from the Windows world). It would be helpful, from a new user perspective, if both the KDE and GNOME developers would adopt terminology familiar to the majority of computer users. But even with a different naming convention, the task is simple -- once you know where to begin.
