If you could provide an example launcher it would make a good addition to our instructions; I am afraid I don't know how to actually do one myself.
For xfce, the default desktop in Xubuntu, launchers are created by right-clicking
the "panel" (as opposed to the "taskbar") and choosing "Add new items". The
default choice at that point is to create a new "Launcher", so click "Add".
A property sheet appears; enter a label for the launcher ("uDig" might not be
a bad choice), change the icon if you wish, and type the path to udig.sh as
the command to execute. The results are stored in ~/.config/xfce4/panel in
a file named launcher-(something).rc
I unzipped udig-1.2-RC3.linux.gtk.x86.zip using sudo when in /usr/local
and have the following working launcher .rc file:
[Entry 0]
Name=uDig
Icon=/usr/local/udig/icon.xpm
Exec=/usr/local/udig/udig.sh
Path=/home/pschweitzer
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
[Global]
MoveFirst=false
ArrowPosition=0
This note applies to Xubuntu 10.04 32-bit version.
Hope this helps!
