Re: [kde] Programmatically placing/deleting icons form desktop



Hi Sorin,

I guess you could move around the *.desktop files through a shell script, for
example. All icons on the desktop are in the /home/your_user/Desktop
directory.

I don't know how this will affect sorting and positioning though.

Cheers,
Patrick.

Hi All,

Is it possible to show/hide icons on desktop
programmatically? I would like to be able to run a
script at boot that, according to some conditions,
will allow some custom applications to run, while
hiding the others. The script exists and performs all
kind of other things before launching X.

Thanks for your advice,
Sorin
