This probably won't work for you as everybody's installation of linux is different. But it may give you an idea how to do it within your distro and X-window application.

In KDE, right click on desktop (or wherever you want it to be) and select 'create new / link to application'.

In General tab, give it a any name you like. Suprisingly enough I chose to call it "LimeWire".

Under execute tab, browse to wherever your "/LimeWire/LimeWire" startup script is. [pointing to "runLime.sh" wouldn't work for me.]

Click "okie Dokie"

FYI, The new startup icon uses the default KDE application icon. I haven't found the appropriate LimeWire icon yet.

Applies to Mandrake Linux v9.0 w/KDE 3.0.3 and LimeWire 2.7.3
