Re^9: Create a desktop icon for perl program in ubuntu?

Try running the desktop file from the terminal, so you can get more diagnostic info

if foo.desktop try gtk-launch foo

or kioclient exec <path-to-desktop-file>

or kfmclient exec file:/root/Desktop/cdrom.desktop

If that doesn't yield something more than just flashing screen, try prefixing with strace
