The apps/kdesktop mechanism seems to be missing in kde4 cause there isn't a »Desktop« any more - only plasmoids. It is possible though to use the (scriptable) plasmoid »folderview« to provide a Desktop like it used to be in kde3. As folderview is shipped by default the only thing remaining is to script it. The package desktop-base contains the file /usr/share/desktop-base/profiles/kde-profile/share/config/ plasma-desktop-appletsrc Dont't know if it is the right way to go but I modified this file (sample file attached) and adapted chguserpw.desktop (file attached). Create directory /usr/share/debian-edu/common/share/applications/ and put chguserpw.desktop into it. It would be best to use a new user account to test it. There should be three icons on the desktop: change password, openoffice and iceweasel. Wolfgang
