hi!
don't know the exact procedures. i use gnome and faced similar problemsSubject:Desktop Icon Problems From:Mark <admin@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date:Mon, 12 Jan 2004 07:40:55 -0600 To:fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx
I looked in the archives and couldn't find a resolution, though I did find the answer to another problem. I have Fedora loaded on a machine and have updated everything including the kernel. I have KDE to load up as my default desktop. I sign in as a user account (i.e. admin) and I'm trying to drag some icons that are in the menu (like XChat) onto the desktop. When I drag it, it comes up with a menu (copy, move, or link) and I can choose any of the 3 just fine. But, when I go into the icon properties to rename or even change the icon, I get the following error:
Could not save properties. You do not have sufficient access to write to /home/admin/Desktop/XChat
Anyone know if this is just a bug or maybe I need to change something on going about dragging icons from the menu to the desktop? I can supply a screenshot of the error if anyone needs to see it.
Thanx in advance!
when trying to change properties of menu items. the solution i found out
was to login as root and edit the corresponding .desktop file in
/usr/share/applications. did the trick for me as far as menus went. i think a
similar approach should work for desktop icons, too... reply back with what
you met with.
