Icon on Desktop
Hi, I just installed Antix full (space-icevm) on an EeePc 1001, and everything works perfectly. But I have a problem: I can not figure out how to make the connection of an application to the desktop. It's just a trivial thing, but I just can not figure out how to do it. The right mouse button is sufficient in MX, but it does not work here. Can someone help me ? Thanks so much !

Re: Icon on Desktop
should be able to use cntrl+shift+drag from spacefm to the desktop to get a link from spacefm.
you can also hover over any existing desktop item, right click->new -> link and complete the necessary information.
linking tot he desktop is much easier with rox desktop running the desktop icons. just drag and drop from any filemanager

Navigate in the file manager to /usr/share/applications and drag the .desktop file of the app you want to the desktop.
