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
