Desklaunch takes no options
DeskLaunch is a small utility for creating desktop icons. A simple click will launch the desired application.
You need to create a file called .desklaunchrc in your home directory.
${HOME}/.desklaunchrc
icon=5:5:/usr/share/pixmaps/xterm.xpm:XTerm:xterm
icon=5:5:/usr/share/pixmaps/netscape.xpm:Netscape:netscape
The format of the file is: icon=x:y:xpm_image:tooltip:command
where x:y is the position of the icon
xpm_image is the /path/to/pixmap
tooltip is the name of the icon launchers
and command is the command to execute once clicked.
