Chapter 17. Building Custom Linux Desktops with the ThinLinc Desktop Customizer

17.2.1.2. Menu Structure

Each Application Group can add applications to a speciﬁc place in the menu structure. The available

menu structure is edited in the "Menu structure" part of the web based administration interface.

17.2.1.3. Unix Groups and Users

An Application Group is used by zero or more Unix groups and by zero or more speciﬁc users. An

example would be an educational environment. Let’s say that all pupils attending the class "biology 4"

are members of the Unix Group "bio4". By creating an Application Group named "Biology 4" with all

Applications that are speciﬁc to the biology class, and then adding the "bio4" Unix Group as one of the

groups that should be assigned the "Biology 4" Application Group, all students attending the class will

automatically get the applications speciﬁc to the biology class in their menu. By adding the teacher of the

class as a speciﬁc user, he/she as well will also get access to the applications.

17.2.2. Using the ThinLinc Desktop Customizer

The Daily use of the TLDC consists of one or several of the following steps:

• Create an Application

• Create a folder in the Menu Structure

• Bind one or several applications to a folder in the menu structure, using an Application Group

In the following sections, we will more thoroughly describe the different actions that may be needed.

17.2.3. Handling Applications

The handling of applications is normally the ﬁrst step in using the TLDC. Click on the "Applications

(Manual)" link in the TLDC, and you will enter a view where the applications you’ve deﬁned manually

are listed. Several example applications are included with ThinLinc at installation. By clicking on the

text "Applications deﬁned by system", you can also see what applications are found automatically by

scanning, as described in Section 17.2.1.1.

If the application you want to add to a menu or to the desktop is not found among "Applications deﬁned

by system", you need to deﬁne it manually. This is the case for applications installed without adding a

.desktop ﬁle in the correct location, or for applications that are run by connecting to an application

server, for example a Windows Terminal Server.

Deﬁnining applications manually is done by clicking on the button "Add new application" (located at the

top of the list of applications). This leads to a page where you can deﬁne the following properties for the

new application:

• Default Application Name

This is the name of the application. It’s the name that is written next to the icon (if any), in the menu,

and under the icon if the application is to be added to the desktop.
