NEWBIE Alert for sure. But I was in a forum that suggested all these tweaks and adding a few desktop widgets. I followed those and all went well...however, how the heck do I actually get them to run???

check if you can run the apps from command line. If so , create a shortcut , and edit it. Add the shell command to the shortcut from the properties menu. Now , you will have desktop shortcuts for your applications.

First, check your /usr/share/applications folder, there may be a Desktop file there. If not, you will have to find out the command-line command. Once you find it, just type this into a text editor:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=App Name
Exec=command
Icon=optional-icon
Type=Application
Categories=GTK;Gnome;Utility;

I'm sorry, mobile app doesn't like line breaks. Before each assigned variable, there should be a newline.

and save it as appname.desktop
