====== Create A Desktop Launcher Icon ======

===== Create .desktop File =====

:!: Example done on Ubuntu 15.04 with Unity Desktop.

Open Gedit or your favorite text editor and create a file on the desktop yourchosenname.desktop

This example of the text is for an RDP Remmina connection.

The ''Exec'' line is pointing at a ''Remmina'' connection configured and saved in the ''Remmina'' application.

<file>
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.1
Name=remmina
Comment=remote desktop
Exec=remmina -c /home/user/.remmina/1430501694252.remmina
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/remmina.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=remote desktop;
</file>

:!: After creation ''right click'' the icon and select ''Properties''. On the ''Permissions'' tab tick the box to make it executable ''Allow executing file as a program''. 

You can edit that Remmina file to point at different servers etc.

<file>
vi /home/user/.remmina/1430501694252.remmina
</file>

This is an example of the text in that file.
