From: LSMFT on 23 Jun 2010 13:34 With 11.2 openSuse and XFCE desktop I try to create a new launcher for Firefox. Nothing happens. try two more times, nothing shows up. Then I log off and log in with KDE and there are 3 new Firefox icon launchers on the desktop. What's up with this? -- LSMFT I'm trying to think but nothing happens.

Nothing happens except that it is created on the KDE desktop when you log into that. -- LSMFT I'm trying to think but nothing happens.
