How to create a shortcut on KDE4 desktop?

Ok, I understand now.

That said, #2 is broken. When you add such a plasma-icon,
it has two problems (on my 11.0 system):
(a)it only has 2 tabs, so you can’t specify the ‘cmd’.
(b)permissions/ownership is fouled up. (It OUGHT to
be owned by user’s acct, like it is if you create
it via #3 technique.):confused:

#3: Yup, that works.:slight_smile:

Bottom line, it’s becoming quite clear that KDE4
is definately still a work-in-progress, if they haven’t
even got this working yet.

It’s becoming clearer why Debian has decided to stay with
kde 3.5.9 in their next release. Luckily, 11.0 users can go back
and login as ‘kde3’ when they want the functionality that
they’re accustomed to. (11.0’s DEFAULT-login ought to be
KDE3, in my opinion…KDE4 is a time-waster and NOT ready
for prime-time.)

My 2-cents…
