LONG WAY TO SHORTCUT

We all are looking for shortcuts in some way or the other for something or the other. In fact we are always looking for shortcuts at least on our PC. For us, everything should happen with clicks-clicks & clicks. And you will surely appreciate the fact that in the world of computers, anything which does not happen with clicks is equivalent to long frustrating way.

Ubuntu 11.04, is a beautiful OS with charming UI. But, creating shortcuts on desktop is not as simple as it is in Windows. Terminal is like oxygen to Linux users. If they don't find it easily, you can see all the symptoms of perpetual death on their faces. It's like, they are trying to find oxygen in the air.

And you will not find terminal on the desktop of Ubuntu 11.04 readily.

So, here is the long cut to create shortcut of terminal in Ubuntu 11.04.

1. Open up the terminal (From Dash board  -> Application  :) )
2. Make sure that the required stuffs are present on your machine.
    apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel
3. gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop
     This will open an UI where you can specify the name of your application and the path of it's executable. (/bin/sh for terminal)
4. You have oxygen ready. (Shortcut).
