To creat a desktop icon (SuSe 8.0) just right click anywhere on the Desktop.

Choose Creat new: Link to Application.

Under the General tab put linewire or whatever name you want. You can click the square box and choose from a zillion icons. (i think there's at least a lemon there somewhere)

2nd-tab over to Execute and browse for the file you want to open-runlimewire i guess.

As easy and better than Windows-lots of cool icons to choose from in SuSe.
