[Gambas-user] Question: Wait-sign on start

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Originally, I had icons for some Gambas programs on the Desktop, 
therefore in ~/Desktop (in the German localisation it is called 
"~/Schreibtisch"). That was not enough, even if I added 
StartupNotify=true in them. The programs would start, but without 
notification.

I had to make a copy into .local/share/applications plus I added 
StartupNotify=true to either of them (it doesn't need to be contained in 
both).

Was that clear enough?

Regards
Rolf
