[ubuntu-za] Launcher icons

[Jan Greeff]

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the advice.

I now remember how I did it last time, but now it does not work, the 
link seems to drag across fine but the moment it is dropped on the 
desktop it becomes damaged and I get this feedback:  'This link cannot 
be used, because its target 
"../../lib/libreoffice/share/xdg/writer.desktop" doesn't exist.'

Any more ideas?

Kind regards,

Jan
