running a shell script from a launcher without opening a shell window

[Michael Hirsch]

I use squirrel to look at databases.  It's a java app that provides a gui
for examining many different DB flavors.  It's pretty good.

I created an icon for it in my KDE panel so that I can run it with one
click.  My problem is that is always opens a shell window which is useless
to me.

Squirrel usually launches from the shell script squirrel.sh.  Squirrel.sh
makes certain that the environment is sane, then runs java with appropriate
args.  When I create an icon to run squirrel.sh, it opens a konsole window
running squirrel.sh.

Is there a way to create an icon for a .sh file that doesn't open a konsole
window?

I'm running 12.04, though this happened with 11.04 and 11.10, as well.

Thanks,

Michael
