Dear fellow fedora users, I run a windows binary using wine in several machines that I have in the classroom. Some run KDE and some run GNOME, one machine runs Fedora 7, another runs Fedora 8 and a third runs Fedora 9. Two of the three run KDE while one runs GNOME as the default. Both Desktops are installed. I run Virtual Calculator http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/84/8442.html on the machines so that students can use a virtual calculator(no batteries get lost, actual calculators get lost/misplaced/stolen,... etc). I run it with a command from a terminal shell: [olivares@localhost ~]$ wine ~/Virtual\ Calculator/Vti.exe & I have tried to create launchers under both GNOME/KDE but they do not run successfully. The calculator resides in a student directory with their own account. same command as above. How can I create a launcher correctly. I have tried drag and drop the executable unto the desktop, but it does not work all of the time. Also, how can I protect the compter from how I have it setup so that students cannot change the background, move the icons and mess with the settings. They have crashed the KDE 4 desktop several times and I have to reset the bottom panel back to how I like it. I have created a copy of the ~/.kde directory like $ mkdir -p ~/.kde_backup $ cp -ra ~/.kde ~/.kde_backup and when something goes bad or not to my liking I restore everything by brute force. Is there a more efficient way? Thank you for answers/suggestions/advice provided.
