   I now have this Slitaz 4 installation running how I want it but this minor issue need sorting. I have put a shortcut for LibreOffice writer on the desktop. It has no icon, just the text saying 'LibreOffice 5.3 Writer. When I click on this text it launches fine but an icon would be nice. How do I add one please.
   Thanks

   Thanks Alexx. This creates a shortcut to LibreOffice suit but causes other icons to disappear from the desktop, not all just some? If I delete it and reboot the missing shortcuts return. And what I would really like is to add an icon to the desktop shortcut for writer which is there on the desktop but without an icon just text. I rarely use any other app in LibreOffice other than writer.
   Thanks
