invoking shellscript from desktop icon

[Fred Smith]

Hi all!

I've got a shellscript that is invoked by a desktop icon. works fine.
but every time I do it I get a gnome prompt asking if I want to 
run in terminal, run, view, etc.

is there a way to disable that prompt FOR A SPECIFIC PROGRAM?
I know it can be disabled for all, but in general I don't want it
totally disabled, I just don't want to see it when I run this single
program.

I don't see any options in right-click/properties that would do it.

Thanks in advance!

Did you create a launcher of the type Apllication?

hmmm. had to think for a moment (it's been a couple of weeks).
I think I did something really dumb: create a symbolic link to the
script and drag that to the desktop.

it worked, but obviously not what I should have done. Can't IMAGINE
why I didn't just right-click and create launcher! :(

just did that, and it works fine.

thanks for the reminder!
