Anyone Add Thunderbird to Connect Area?

First off, thanks to all the users on this board. Your tips have made the first 24 hours with my one very enjoyable.

I've managed to install all the software I was hoping and add links to the default desktop as I hoped. Pidgin, Skype, VLC...they're all there.

All that's left is tbird. I've installed it, and it runs just fine. However, I can't figure out what line to add into the xml code to get it to show up.

I've tried sooooo many variations and none work. I just need to know what to insert in the _____.desktop and I'll be golden.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated. After this my one is totally setup!

 

try going to /usr/share/applications/ via thunar

right click the icon of tbird. edit with mousepad or gedit(if you've installed it already. i highly recommend it.)

you don't need to edit the file. just look for the filename at the window bar.


======
if you like command line, open the terminal then

cd /usr/share/applications
ls *thunderbird* (sorry i havent installed it yet so just experiment. it will list all filenames on that directory that has thunderbird in their filename.)

hope that helps.

 

I think it is "mozilla-thunderbird.desktop" but I don't have the A1 in front of me to check.

 

You're right

 

PERFECT!!! Why couldn't I think of that?!?

Thanks again!
