Well, our IT crew doesn't really know what they're doing...I have been
removed
several times from the redhat mailing list due to bounced emails (and
our IT
guys don't understand what the problem is). In any case, I have gotten
the 
message.

Well, the icons I was trying to make had understandable/intuitive names 
such as you describe.

Yeah, I assumed so...though it does work.  I had read in some of the
KDE documentation about printer icons that should be on my desktop,
and if they weren't there, it pointed to a place in the docs where
it would be explained how make them if they did not exist.  Problem is,
the description given is how to create an icon for XV.  If I follow 
that example, it produces the icon (for the printer) but no functional
results.

Well...actually it's OS/2, not Winblows but the point is taken.
In any case, thanks for the reply and info.
