A devoted MS Windows user gives up all his Windows machines to explore Ubuntu 6.1 Linux for 30 days. If I can't figure out how to do it with Linux I just won't do it. (This was from Nov 1 to Dec 1, 2006, I have continued to use Ubuntu beyond those 30 days and now will try to post how-to's, help, and other Linux (Ubuntu) thoughts here)

Icons on the Desktop
I figured out how to put ICONS on the DESKTOP. You go to the Applications menu, find the program you want, RIGHT CLICK on it and select "Add This Launcher to Desktop" from the menu that appears. That is all there is to it. The other options that appear are "Add This Launcher to Panel", "Add this as Drawer to Panel" and "Add This Menu to Panel". I haven't played with the other options but they seem straight forward.

Ever since I used Windows 95, I ahve kept my icons to a minimum. I have never been a fan of using them on the desktop, but I tend to use a few on the taskbar.
