[chandler-users] How do I add as a desktop icon?

[Henry]

I'll add my 2¢. To stay consistent over releases, i place a link to the
current chandler release. So I don't have to update the icon:

/opt/chandler -> /opt/Chandler_linux_0.7.5.dev-r16286-checkpoint20080311

I also use the icon that comes with the chandler
release: /opt/chandler/chandler/Chandler.egg-info/resources/icons/Chandler.ico

If you move around between KDE and GNOME or other WM and you want
chandler to appear in all menues, you may add
a /usr/share/applications/chandler.desktop with something like theses
lines:
-----8<-----
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Chandler
Exec=/opt/chandler/run_chandler.sh
Icon=/opt/chandler/chandler/Chandler.egg-info/resources/icons/Chandler.ico
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Office
----->8-----

-- 
regards, Henry

PS: Almos forgot: I use a little script that calls chandler
(run_chandler.sh I'm sure you spottet it), here's the content:
-----8<-----
#!/bin/sh
cd /opt/chandler/chandler/
release/RunPython -O Chandler.py --locale=de
----->8-----
