When I set up open Suse v 11.10 as a Newbie I somehow got all the icons
on the desktop I wanted except for Thunderbird, It is there at the top left

it to the desktop to keep it there. Can anyone help?
Thanks. Bob
Hi Bob;
First, why are you using openSuSE 11.10? That is very far out of date.
Current release is 12.1. Strongly recommend you update to that (or even 11.4).

Second, which desktop are you using (KDE, Gnome, xfce, other)? This will
probably affect any user response. Always supply as much information as
possible and let us wade through it.

I can only tell you about KDE. If you use another desktop, someone else will
have to help you. You say the icon is at the top left in the sidebar. Would
it be possible for you to take a screenshot (ksnapshot) and paste it to an
image storing service (pastebin, imagebam, etc.) so we can see what you are
talking about? KDE puts the taskbar (sidebar?) on the bottom of the screen and
Gnome at the top.

If KDE, have you opened the Start> Applications> Internet> E-Mail>
Thunderbird? Try right clicking on Thunderbird there and select "Add to
Desktop". Did that place the icon on the desktop and does it work? I'm sure
Gnome has a similar procedure. If not reply with the above information and we
will try to provide more help.

Hi
I think it must be gnome (sidebar and Applications box?). I could drag tb from the 'applications box' to the desktop but had to
rt-click > properties > permissions > check execute box
to get it to run from there. Is that it?
