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!
