Changed to use other .desktop file and did other modification and it worked.

Thanks a lot!

I have another question.
From admin guide, I only saw the precedure to set menus or menu items for all users.
Is there any way that I can set particular menu and its items for certain users?

My goal is for each unix account created by my script, I would like to put two icons LaunchGUI and LaunchLogger on their 
desktop and also add two icons under Applications/Alcatel/LaunchGUI and LaunchLogger menu.
How should I do it?

Thanks!
