Desktop applets HOWTO?

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and apologize if this has been asked before.

Can anyone point me to where I can find detailed info on how to write desktop applets (ie putty.desktop - as per example below)?? Where can I find details on all the parameters??

Thanks for any help/advice on this matter.

Kindest regards. Otto Rodusek.

Hi,

I must have been half asleep when I was "googling" and couldn't find the answer. I finally got the link with the details that I needed at :
