Desktop icon
============
These instructions will help you make a KDE desktop icon which
starts the Sage notebook. Instructions for a Gnome desktop icon are
probably similar.
#. Create a ``notebook.sage`` file containing only the line
::
notebook(openviewer=True)
#. In your Desktop subdirectory, create a file
``Sage-notebook.desktop`` containing the lines
::
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=
Comment[de]=
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=/usr/local/bin/sage /home/martin/notebook.sage
GenericName=
GenericName[de]=
Icon=
MimeType=
Name=Sage
Name[de]=Sage
Path=$HOME
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-DCOP-ServiceType=
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=
You will have to edit the ``Exec=`` line to point to your ``sage``
script and your ``notebook.sage`` file.
#. Right click on the Sage notebook desktop icon and click on
``Properties``, then ``Application``, then ``Advanced Options``,
then ``Run in Terminal``. If you want to title the xwindow
terminal, add in the terminal option box ``-T "sage notebook"``.
To quit the Sage notebook, first enter ``Ctrl-c`` in the xwindow
terminal running Sage, then enter ``Ctrl-d`` to quit Sage in the
terminal, and finally close the browser (or browser tab) which was
displaying the Sage notebook server.
