Hi,
I have a fedora21 desktop that I'm building for my father-in-law and have installed gnome-tweak-tool to enable icons on the desktop. Now, I'd like to add an icon on the desktop to automatically start a qemu instance of windows7. I'd even settle for an icon that opens virt-manager in such a way as to be able to start the instance.
How about adding it to the menu that appears when you move the mouse all the way to the left?
In Gnome 3 do a new launcher in a personal folder (without a terminal) like Desktop, is a very hard think!
Some (not line command) solution:
a) Install and use a shell extension (connection-manager).
b) yum install alacarte, but this apps put the launcher into menu, not in a generic folder.
c) install another file manager, like caja or thunar an use it to create a launcher.
d) in your home folder Model, create a new text file called "New Launcher.desktop", set the execution flag on and put into it somethings like this:
[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Terminal=true Exec=read -p pausa Name=New launcher Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/audacity.svg
now you can open a folder and do "New Document/New launcher", then modify it* via right click property. * nautilus is a poor launcher maker, you do not modify all if you want, and if you want change the icona ... is a very hard (and ridiculous) think!
e) other way suggested from other user.
Hope this help.
Ciao
