I think you misunderstand.  Konqueror *doesn't* run Gambas 
applications, despite the shebang.  It prompts you for a program with 
which to open your application, ignoring the shebang line altogether, 
and displays a generic document icon for the application rather than 
its icon.  This is true as of KDE 3.4, at least.  Try it.

Yeah, I was a VB programmer, but I was using Unix before VB 1.0 came 
out ;)
