When I used the KDE desktop in PCLOS, I could easily set a link (icon) for any application to the desktop, but when I tried the same in openbox it would not work. Since my installation of TinyMe (I tested SAM-Linux first) about a month ago, I have installed a number of applications via Synaptic. These include QCad, Blender, inkscape, Xtreme, firefox, thunderbird, pysol, bluefish, and GIMP. For all I cannot find a way to set them on my desktop nor my tool bar at the bottom. This must be able to be done easily by a blind or novice person, otherwise I need to use KDE and not openbox. I have been going through your documentation looking for answers, but I find that the documentation uses language that I or any of our novice clients would never understand. We need to give clear examples in texk large enough for the vision impaired to see and the text must have all acronyms "spelled out" at least once so that we know for sure what you are talking about. Remember, the people who will be using openbox on older machines are totally novice, non-programmers, and are not command line at all.<br>
