I am admired that everyone who responded to Shane understood what he is
trying to do.
Unfortunately, I didn't understand, but I tried to create something as a
basis for discussion.
If Shane can get me to understand as well, maybe this discussion can
continue.
If Shane doesn't need to open links on the desktop then I've just wasted my
time.

If a user puts a launcher to a program on their desktop for what reason
should only root open it?

Regards
