Still not what he asked for, IMO ;-)

If you want to have an applnk in your panel that does not yet exist
you have to do two steps now:

1. open kfm window, go to a suitable directory, create the applnk there

2. drag this applnk into the panel

I have several of these for scripts of mine because I want some custom
icons. Just dragging the scripts into the panel does not allow me to
set the icon.

Ok, back to the topic:  what would be nice is to be able to make
such a panel button directly in one step.

Kind regards,
Stefan
