CentOS - Oct 2007 - New launcher in Gnome

Hi!

In Centos 5, when I add a launcher to the desktop, it doesn't allow me to 
choose an icon for the launcher. After creating it, right-click/properties
also has no way to choose an icon. It seems to assign one itself, and the
one i get looks like a small terminal window, or something.

How can I pick the icon for a desktop launcher myself?

My old Centos 4.5 installation allowed me to pick the icon. This seems
to be a step backwards.

Tks!

Fred

When creating the launcher, click where it says "no icon" to select
your icon.

Afterward, you can select "properties", then click on the icon where
it appears
on the Basic tab and select your icon.

Or you can manually edit the relevant .desktop file under ~/Desktop to point to
the icon that you want.
