[Nautilus-list] Need some help creating a launcher

[Skip Montanaro <skip pobox com>]

Yesterday I decided to give Nautilus a try.  At one point I told it to take
over the desktop.  Now I can't figure out how to create new launchers.
Nothing shows up in the right mouse menu over either the desktop or the
Nautilus windows.  I saw something in the list archives that suggested I'd
be able to do this.  According to the About... popup, I'm running version
1.0.1.1 (came as part of Mandrake 8.0).

All I need are some simple launchers to allow me to pop up a terminal window
and ssh to some remote hosts.  If I can't create them from Nautilus itself,
I'm happy to create them manually with XEmacs. I took a look at the existing
launchers in ~/.nautilus/desktop but haven't been able to deduce the correct
link attribute to the nautilus_object tag.  All I keep getting is a
gnome-terminal running /bin/bash on the local machine.  My current link
attribute is

    link="command:/usr/bin/gnome-terminal%20--command=ssh%20manatee.mojam.com"

Any hints?

Thx,
