A feature was requested for a script that creates a desktop icon for Light Table. This is the Linux version. I plan on implementing the Windows and Mac versions in a couple of days.

Exec starting with/home seems to assume that LT will be installed there (instead of somewhere on/). I'm not sure this is a good idea.

I'd add a |
this script was altered to be part of the client's package and not the dev package.
running this script in the client's package (not dev package) will create a nice Light Table icon the user can click to run Light Table as opposed to clicking "ltbin". The file can be moved anywhere on the user's system and will run Light Table.
This script should be placed in the top directory of the client's package and run. After it is run, you will have a nice looking Light Table icon (with logo) which will open the app on-click. This can moved anywhere and still execute the program.

I have altered this script to be located in the Light Table client version. Because I don't have access to the client version on GitHub, I'm asking it be placed in the client folder's top directory and included with the package so users may execute this and have a nice looking, movable Light Table icon from which to run the program. |

NOTE! sorry I'm new to github. I didn't change the original script, I created a new one called "make_user_icon.sh" that script is the working one. sorry for the confusion |

Thanks for the pull. I'm not running linux and don't know when one of us who does will have time to look at this. In the meantime, can you explain what versions of linux this is meant for and how it's supposed to integrate with linux_deps.sh |

Should be fine with all versions of Linux although it's been tested using
