antix-13-Full comes with some useful interactive CLI apps that have no GUI menu entries. How about placing entries directly into ~/.icewm/menu in the"Terminal Apps" section for two such apps? This is probably better than trying to use a .desktop file which cannot put them in that section.

Examples:

CDW
A reliable CD/DVD burner.
Multimedia Sub-Section
prog"CD/DVD Writer" /usr/share/icons/antiX/cd-dvd-writer.png roxterm -e cdw
Resized/renamed icon obtained from

========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/5979/128/cd_copy_disc_dvd_icon"
linktext was:"http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/5 ... c_dvd_icon"
====================================



Calcurse
A calendar, diary and to-do list.
Office Sub-Section
prog"Organizer" /usr/share/icons/antiX/organizer.png roxterm --color-scheme=GTK -e calcurse

Resized/renamed icon obtained from

========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/8810/128/calendar_date_time_icon"
linktext was:"http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/8 ... _time_icon"
====================================



Edited to place each app in correct sub-section.

One time I created a desktop file for mp3blaster, which then enabled me to easily add it to the"Sound and Video" menu. The same could be done for any comman line app I guess. You just have to include

Code: Select all

Terminal=true
in the desltop file.
